Two Love Books…
…I’m reading right now:
Rumi: The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing by Coleman Barks
This book is full of Rumi’s poetry, of course, but it also has all sorts of commentary from Coleman Barks. I didn’t know this when I first picked up the book and at first started to skip the intro. But something made me go back and I’m glad I did. It’s very interesting and engaging and even…funny!
This Time I Dance!: Creating the Work You Love by Tama J. Kieves
This book is excellent. I haven’t finished it, but I’m already recommending it to certain people. I’m in the process of radically changing what I do during the day and how I make money. It’s a confusing, scary, wonderful, weird, totally baffling, messy, insane process. This book describes that process in an honest, compassionate, and helpful way. It’s about taking yourself from a life that is just wasting time to a really fulfilling existence.

Hey Emma! I’m curious to read more about this big change of livelihood you’re working on. I’m trying to push onward to a little insanity too but right now I feel only bewilderment.
