Rumi Celebration

Let the Beauty We Love

by Jelalludin Rumi (version by Coleman Barks)
If you wake up in the morning / Empty and scared / Don’t go to the study and read / Pick up a musical instrument and play. / Let the beauty we love, be what we do / There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Our fourteenth annual Rumi Celebration, an evening of music, chanting, poetry and sacred dance is coming in just a few days – Sunday, December 22nd. This event grew out of love for Rumi’s mystical poetry and features the Wild Moon Bhaktas, Hakim Bushnell and friends, and Rev. Ted Tollefson. Many people bring their favorite Rumi poem and share it, while the Wild Moon Bhaktas provides background music for the recitation. Either way, join us! 7-9 pm. at the Center for Performing Arts, 3754 Pleasant Ave. South, Minneapolis. 55409. RumiNiteFlyer2013PDF
