Mystic and prophet Julian of Norwich was an innovator and theologian in her own right who developed a veritable metaphysics of goodness. This book provides a translation and a format for prayer and artistic response to her lively mystical images. Only now do we discover her true sensuality, her intimacy with God and with all of creation.
Rumi is well known for the over 44, 000 verses that appear in a 23-volume collection called the Divan-I Kebir. Yet Rumi, also, composed 1,700 rubais, short aphorisms and observations, whose depth and message belie their brevity.
The form of rubais first became well known through the 11th century collection The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
