Rumi entreats us to come to the beloved
I was at Esin Restaurant in Danville, CA last night having a glass of wine when Esin joined my dad and me. We got to sharing history and stories. I mentioned Rumi to Esin (she is from Turkey) and she said her mother read Rumi. Esin remembers her mother reciting these lines:
Come, come, whoever you are.
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.
I asked Esin if she knew of Yunus Emre. She did and wanted to know how I knew of him.
Don’t all lovers of the divine know of Yunus, Rumi, Hafiz, Rabia?
