The Sufi Book of Life

When you read on a book for four months, you know that something good is there.

If you are anything like me, you probably know nothing about Sufism. Perhaps you have heard of dervishes, but see them as some sort of odd practitioner.

Look again.

Let's let the author define it for us: “Sufism, is, first of all, a series of ‘not's'—not a religion, not a philosophy, not even a mysticism....It's best to call Sufism a way of experiencing reality as love itself.”

The book is a series of short essays illustrated by short stories or poems. The essays are wise and thoughtful and can be read over and over for more and more wisdom and thoughtfulness.

I'm very happy I received and read this book. I will keep it and read on it again from time to time.
