Today in Beirut (Photo: Emily O'Dell)
Today, when browsing through the new book section of my favorite book store in Beirut, I noticed that one of the books–with a whirling dervish on cover–was about the history of Sufism in Syria–as well as Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine. Needless to say, I bought the book…
Soul receives from soul that knowledge,
therefore not by book nor from tongue.
If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind,
that is illumination of heart.
— Rumi
