In this episode, we focus on Persian mystic, poet, and lecturer, Rumi. We follow his path across the Middle East with his theologian father and the artistic influences and mentors that guided his writing into adulthood. We conclude with the iconic poem, Breezes at Dawn, which compels us all to ask, in this time of quarantine-quiet, what do you really want?
