Move and Be Moved

I cannot say that I am any expert on Rumi. I do consider him one of my favorite friends though. Over the past fifteen years I have spent many hours either trying to understand his mystical poems or been involved in expressing them in dance. Some years, when we lived in Utah, I gathered a group around me and choreographed dance movements to the Persian lyrics of the Mathnavi. I met a dear friend who was a prophessor in Sufism at the U of U and toghether we worked out translations of Rumi poems into my native Danish. Now that I have started dancing at Waves studio in Olympia I find myself back with Rumi again. Maybe stronger than ever. "So this was what he was talking about!" The completel emertion in chaos, in extacy and YES, Intoxication of love. Looks like Rumi and I will be at it again for a long time.
