When you unexpectedly wake to snow in April you must immediately crawl back into bed with your Rumi, hot tea, and all the kitties to wait for spring to come back

My last Rumi poem of 2023. I don‘t think I‘ve ever enjoyed a daily reader so much, or ever planned to flip right back to the beginning before and spend a second year with one to see how the selections strike me differently on new days.

AnnR Nice photo and I like the teacup. Very colorful! 4mo

My year with RUMI has been wonderful.
10 days left..

"Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.
Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation."
- Rumi

kspenmoll This sounds like a wonderful way to start your day. If I can maybe I will try to do it for 2024. 4mo
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll @IndoorDame and I absolutely loved this this past year. 4mo
IndoorDame @kspenmoll highly recommend starting the day with this! It was the first thing I reached for almost every morning 💙 4mo

GingerAntics How are you getting on with this one? I‘ve got this on my wish list. I feel like maybe I should read some other Rumi first though before I dive headlong into a year with him. Just so I‘m more mentally prepared… but then it might also be fun to just dive in headlong and go for it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Sometimes I like to grapple a bit thoughts and ideas, if that makes sense. 10mo
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics So I think opposite I‘m head first in this and then reading all the singular books!! It‘s just enough and some days I really think ok I‘ll get to this later when I read more in depth and some days I just love it as is and it hits. 10mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie see, I‘m thinking there is fun in that. It lets you grapple with/mull over things unhindered. 10mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie okay, so do I want to start in the middle and then go back next year, or should I just start next year? 10mo
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics you can start in the middle! It seems to not have an order at all. Or I‘m missing it! 😂 10mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 😂 I‘m already starting the summer poetry book 16 days behind. The thought of simultaneously starting a year long book 6 months behind does not appeal. 🥃 10mo

Loving this daily read 💙

IndoorDame Daily reads just seem like the perfect way to appreciate Rumi, so I decided to order a copy but it won‘t arrive for a few weeks. I‘m really excited to start this even if my Rumi year will begin in February! 1y
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame I‘m very much enjoying it. More than I thought I would. 💙 1y

I started reading this poem a day volume midway through September. It is just the right amount to read and reflect each day. It‘s amazing how much an Islamic Afghani man born in 1207 can touch this Christian American woman‘s ❤️ in 2021.

I don't know what daily life is like in the UAE, but this new rule seems rather cool.

Smrloomis Daily life here is pretty darn nice 😎 assuming you have enough money and a few friends (so like many other places I guess). It'll be interesting to see if this law changes anything. It's also the year of reading here in #Dubai 📖❤️ 7y
