The Essential Rumi

– by Coleman Barks

Almost every page offers an opportunity for reflection and self-examination. I use this volume to randomly flip to a page and have a moment for reflection.

In just opening the book randomly I landed on page 128 and saw these words: “There is an unseen presence we honor that gives the gifts.” As I consider this simple line I offer God gratitude as the one within me that has given me any and all gifts I possess and use to meet the world, touch need, and make a difference.
