The Rumi Prescription

<p><strong>A powerful personal journey to find meaning and life lessons in the words of a wildly popular 13th century poet</strong>.<br /><br />Rumi's inspiring and deceptively simple poems have been called ecstatic, mystical, and devotional. To writer and activist Melody Moezzi, they became a lifeline. In <em>The Rumi Prescription</em>, we follow her path of discovery as she translates Rumi's works for herself - to gain wisdom and insight in the face of a creative and spiritual roadblock. With the help of her father, who is a lifelong fan of Rumi's poetry, she immerses herself in this rich body of work, and discovers a 13th-century prescription for modern life. <br /><br />Addressing isolation, distraction, depression, fear, and other everyday challenges we face, the book offers a roadmap for living with intention and ease, and embracing love at every turn--despite our deeply divided and chaotic times. Most of all, it presents a vivid reminder that we already have the answers we seek, if we can just slow down to honor them.<br /><br /></p> <ul> <li><em>You went out in search of gold far and wide, but all along you were gold on the inside.</em></li> </ul> <ul> <li><em>Become the sky and the clouds that create the rain, not the gutter that carries it to the drain.</em></li> </ul> <ul> <li><em>You already own all the sustenance you seek.
