Rumi’s Caravan 2018
event | February 10, 2018 — Sebastopol, CA, USA
It is a joy and delight to participate in Rumi's Caravan once again!
The moment may dictate otherwise, but at the time of this posting, this is my best guess for which poems I will recite at the event. These poems are not yet published, but I'm making them available -- just for the caravan community :)
1. "The Chickpea & the Chef" -- I wrote this poem specifically for this Rumi's Caravan performance! It is a rhyming adaptation based on translations of Coleman Barks and Reynold A. Nicholson.
2. "The Paradox" -- I wrote this rhyme in 2003. I recently heard that Carl Jung once noted that "Paradox is one of our most valued spiritual possessions." An important topic for our times.
3. "The Blind Men & the Elephant" -- This poem was written by John Godfrey Saxe way back in the 1800's. I've updated the language a bit and added one stanza at the end.
