    Rumi is a Persian poet (1200's) who transcends philosophy & religion. Coleman Barks translates as if from inside the spirit of Rumi. I'll let Rumi speak for himself:Only BreathNot Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu,Buddhist, Sufi or Zen. Not any religionor cultural system. I am not from the Eastor the West, not out of the ocean or upfrom the ground, not natural or ethereal, notcomposed of elements at all. I do not exist,am not an entity in this world or the next,did not descend from Adam and Eve or anyorigin story. My place is placeless, a traceof the traceless. Neither body or soul.I belong to the beloved, have seen the twoworlds as one and that one call to and knowfirst, last, outer, inner, only thatbreath breathing human being.
