The greatest struggle of all of us is knowing how to treat the person next to us, as the last few years have shown us it can be an extremely difficult thing to do

I really enjoyed the last poem "Lose Yourself" since it transmits a powerful message about accepting yourself, and brings awareness on how we need to always embrace our emotions.

The Guest House was by far my favorite of his. Seeing emotions from the perspective of guests helps me detach from them, on some level.

That last poem made me feel something. Especially the sentiment that "When you lose yourself in this love, you will find everything." I interpreted that to mean that if you relinquish your pride you can find who you truly are and are able to embrace others as well. Thank you for sharing Elham.

The Guest House
… The dark thought, the shame, the malice
Meet them at the door laughing and invite them…

I really felt this lines because we struggle with dark moments but that moments also enrich our life, they have meaning and we learn from that, trying to embrace them maybe difficult but maybe some day we can live with them in peace.

I love the last poem we discussed about losing yourself because I am not the type of person to show my emotions when it comes to grief. Until I had to put my dog down and I completely let go for the first time ever. Everyone was completely shocked and I had never felt such pain before. Although, after it made me feel so much more appreciative of what I had than what I didn’t have.

I loved the last poem shared today, it's such an accurate depiction of how one's ego holds oneself back, and how it is only by releasing the trappings of the ego that we can truly, genuinely, joyfully interact with the greater world and community around us. Incredible poem, thank you for sharing!

Before today I did not know anything about Rumi’s poetry. It was nice to learn about his work and the meaning behind it.

The Lose Yourself Poem really stood out to me the most. I think it had to do with the man's voice. His words, really meant a lot to me, and I felt like I could relate to the words in so many ways.

"Lose yourself
Lose yourself
Do not fear this loss,
For you will rise from the Earth
And embrace the endless Heavens"
I really like this quote because it kinda talks about transcending the limits of our body, and getting to greater heights.

The gravitas of the voice used in the last poem Lose Yourself really got to me.

Today's presentation really makes me want to read more poems by Rumi! Thank you!

I came across this quote of his, which I loved. I especially love the last part -- "Seek those who fan your flames."

I think we can all relate to this.

Thank you, Elham!

My favorite poem was the last one. I am not sure if it was the sound of the reader's voice, but the words absolutely took my breath away. THAT is a poem I will read over and over again in my dark moments. Thank you for this wonderful selection Elham.
