Review: Whispers are truth! - When Rumi writes, he pours his soul onto the paper. The paper then takes flight — soaring far and wide, whispering the name of the Almighty. Every word he pens is a devotion, an offering to the Divine. His words are not meant to be merely read — they are to be sipped, like nectar. His emotions are not simply felt — they are meant to be lived. A wonderful read!
