Win Rumi's Secret: The Life of the Sufi Poet of LoveThree randomly selected winners will receive signed copies of this beautiful book! Enter now At Auburn Seminary.
Ecstatic love poems of Rumi, a Persian poet and Sufi mystic born over eight centuries ago, are beloved by millions of readers. He has been compared to Shakespeare for his outpouring of creativity and to Saint Francis of Assisi for his spiritual wisdom. The biography traces Rumi’s journey as a Muslim preacher and refugee who finds a new spiritual home with the disruptive appearance of Shams of Tabriz, who taught him to whirl and transformed him into a poet and mystic. Their vital connection as teacher and pupil, friend and beloved, is one of the world’s greatest spiritual love stories. Ambitious, bold, and beautifully written, Rumi’s Secret sets Rumi in context, explains his life long devotion to Islam and Muslim spirituality, and reveals the unfolding of Rumi’s devotion to a "religion of love," remarkable in his own time and made even more relevant for the twenty-first century by this compelling account. The author is Brad Gooch whose other books include the biography of the Catholic writer Flannery O’Connor, Flannery: A Life of Flannery O’Connor and City Poet: The Life and Times of Frank O’Hara.

Share: Tell your story related to Parkinson's disease, explain an experience, or share a feeling in poetic form. Poetry Anthology Detail [Here] Submission & Contest Deadline March 10, 2018 Thoughts, Sensations, Actions Thoughts, Sensations, Actions: Can you understand the words of a poem, experience the sensations evoked, and feel the movement in the action verbs in the story? Write a poem that includes your thoughts, sensation words, and action verbs. Research "A growing body of evidence in cognitive science and neuroscience points towards the existence of a deep interconnection between cognition, perception and action. According to this embodied perspective language is grounded in the sensorimotor system and language understanding is based on a mental simulation process. This means that during action words and sentence comprehension the same perception, action, and emotion mechanisms implied during interaction with objects are recruited. Among the neural underpinnings of this simulation process an important role is played by a sensorimotor matching system known as the mirror neuron system. "The first is that the processing of action-related sentences causes the resonance of motor and mirror neurons encoding the corresponding actions. The second is that there exists a varying degree of crosstalk between neuronal populations depending on whether they encode the same motor act, the same effector or the same action-goal. The third is the fact that neuronal populations' internal dynamics, which results from the combination of multiple processes taking place at different time scales, can facilitate or interfere with successive activations of the same or of partially overlapping pools." — Chersi, F., S. Thill, et al. (2010). "Sentence processing: linking language to motor chains." Front Neurorobot 4." |
