FAITH HOUSE Manhattan: A Sabbath Poem (Rumi)

an inter-dependent community

We are a community that discovers “the other” (individuals or groups other than our own).
We honor and learn from the teachings, practices, sufferings, and joys of people from different faiths (religions, worldviews, philosophies, and belief systems). We come together to deepen our personal and communal journeys, learn to live with our differences, and contribute to the wellbeing of the world.

A Sabbath Poem (Rumi)

TIME TO THINK
~ by Jalaludin Rumi (1207-1273)

                  Sit down and be quiet.
                  You are drunk, and this is the
                  edge of the roof.

(from Turning to One Another, by Margaret J. Wheatley,
2002, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc.)

Salaams Samir,

Thank you for this. I love Mevlana Rumi, and this is a beautiful excerpt.

Allah bless you and all that you do.
