This is what I am: sometimes hidden, sometimes seen.
Sometimes a momin, sometimes Jew or Christian,
Able to fit into any heart,
Taking on a new face every day.

Why Rumi? Why now?

UNESCO declared 2007 as the Year of the Mevlana; a year of love and understanding. But, how can we make every year one of love and understanding? Or, at least, how can we embrace and accept our differences, see our similarities, and agree on a world vision free of hatred?

Viewers of this blog are invited to post their comments and ideas on this question so as to set in motion a meaningful dialogue that will connect people who may not otherwise be connected.

Not all mysteries have a solution. Some are more like wells. We go to them to refresh ourselves and continue with everyday challenges.

Why no more posts from Aisha R?
