Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 she liked rumi poetry she wanted to hear more of it having converted to islam recently she was full of fervor like most converts she was using the daily muslim expressions with ritualistic precision " do you like to dance and do those crazy sufi stuff? " she asked casually. " no, but i wish i could dance. i'm shy so i hide behind intellectual ideas, " i replied. " it's not islamic to dance, " she stated. she was intrigued with sufi poetry but not with the fanatic sufis. she was into " normal sufi stuff, " as she put it. fanatic sufis what an odd thing to say what's a fanatic sufi on a pathless path? how much concepts can you shed? how much can you deconstruct from a healthy ego? sufi poetry seduction into mysticism by art what a strange game to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Hur ---------------- None. It is not possible for you to shed any concepts at all. Because the you --you know-- is a concept itself. Put another way-- ( " of myself I can do nothing.... " JC) ..
