A superb, unique collection of Sufi poetry about love and ecstasy set to
modern ambient music. Several international recording artists combine
their varied talents to reintroduce the words of Mevlana Jaluddin Rumi, who
lived in the 13th century. Comes complete with booklet giving a history of
the poet, and the lyrics translated into English. This follow up to
Angel Records 1994 release VISION will help you relax and realize once again,
that though we are separated by vast distances, love can bring us together
with help from this great mystic poet, and combination of perfect musicians
and singers to spread the word. Good for all ages. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
There was an interesting story on the news recently about a local teacher who is in trouble for dating a young student. The teacher claims the affair cannot be helped, because the girl saved his life thousands of years ago in another lifetime and they are hopelessly drawn to each other. My wife asks if this could possibly be true, and I can only respond "It most certainly can!"
