In Honor of Rumi

Last Friday, Oct 12 is the celebration of Ramadan, the Thanksgiving feast of our Filipino Muslim brethen and it is declared an official holiday.

I would like to share a verse from my favorite Afghanistan theologian, jurist and poet named Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, more commonly known in the world as Rumi, whose " visions, words, and life teach us how to reach inner peace and happiness so we can finally stop the continual stream of hostility and hatred and achieve true global peace and harmony.*"


The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.
