Share your story about your encounter with Rumi

Tell us about your encounter with Rumi.

As part of our ongoing biographical series, we'll be shifting our focus from great thinkers of the West to the revered spiritual teacher of Central Asia, Rumi. Readers of his lyrical poetry find its unfolding wisdom nourishment for the soul. He lived in the 13th century and yet he's one of the best-selling poets in the United States today. Still, many people may not recognize him by name. That's where you come in. We'd like to hear your stories about Rumi.
