Which is odd -- by all reports, Jesus was alright with that kind of thing.vison wrote:I'm not a bible scholar, but I earn my living in a way that a lot of people disapprove of. I have been scorned, let me tell you.
(You don't know how much I've wanted to hand out the poems of Rumi, these past 6 years: no religion is ever and always just one thing.)Not long after 9/11 I sat next to a young turbaned man who was reading a book (in English) about Sufi Islam.
How sweet and wonderful! I am sure it is true.I asked him why he took the chance of talking Islam to ME, with the hysteria extant at the time and he said, "You have wise eyes" which I have always treasured as one of the loveliest things anyone ever said to me.
