Feeling the Shoulder of the Lion Poems & Teaching Stories from the Mathnawi

These selections from the poetry of Rumi express the courage and intensity needed to overcome our ego-imprisonment. Much of Rumi's poetry has circled around the mystery of surrender. Some of it expresses a longing and even a bewilderment, but there is also much that expresses the discipline, clarity, and intensity that true surrender requires. The lion is Rumi's image for that fierce intensity that recognizes no authority except the highest truth.Rumi, Jalal Al-Din is the author of 'Feeling the Shoulder of the Lion Poems & Teaching Stories from the Mathnawi' with ISBN 9780939660377 and ISBN 0939660377.
