I was just telling a friend about how Rumi and many Sufis were influenced by the Indian concept of "lila" - which is one of the many words meaning "dance" in Sanskrit. Lila -- the perpetual dance of the universe as seen in the image of Shiva. Lovely post! Thank you!
I was a fencer for many years, then late in life I would become a mother. Parenting in the middle ages never occured to me. It has turned out to be my greatest joy.
