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.

This is the end of believing
that anyone else’s way is your way.
This is you getting out of the rut
of someone else’s river and returning to
your humble stream of becoming.
