DESCRIPTION:
Listen in and let them widen and deepen your senses, like a fresh breeze that invites you to breathe freely and surrender to love in all of its changing guises.. "What I had thought of before as God, I met today in a human being." Those were the words of the Persian mystic poet Rumi upon meeting the wild dervish Shams Tabriz. In Just Being Here, the acclaimed poet Coleman Barks joins master cellist David Darling in a celebration of friendship - some of Rumi's most memorable poems on the subject and five of Coleman's own - illuminated within the interplay of Coleman's inspired readings and David's music. And out of their friendship bloomed many of Jelaluddin Rumi's most inspired verses
The fact that there are 3 CD's also makes this an especially good value. Of course Linda L Again, can't go wrong with a Coleman Barks rendition of Rumi. This is particularly lovely Another exceptional body of work by Coleman Barks. The fact that there are 3 CD's also makes this an especially good value. Of course, the addition of music by the wonderful David Darling only further enhances the experience of this set which provides nearly 2hrs 40 min. a fan to begin with so of course I love it. I would have preferred if it were Lisa Luna I'm a fan to begin with so of course I love it. I would have preferred if it were entirely Rumi's own writings.. Third Platoon said Five Stars. Excellent condition.
