Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi was described as a writer of ecstatic poems. He was Persian and lived over 800 years ago and his works are resonating more in this 21C than perhaps any other time in human history. Why are we resonating with the words of Rumi now more than ever?
Perhaps one of the possible answers lies in the way his poems are described, as being ecstatic.

Dare I say we are now, more so than ever, allowing ourselves to feel and express overwhelming happiness as the word ecstatic so defines?
Are many of us, now going forth boldly, speaking our truth? Releasing ourselves from the shackles of organized religion and setting our Inner Beings free to be the us we came here to experience?

Are many of us now releasing ourselves from the isms and schisms, a term coined and popularized by another great poet, Robert Nesta Marley, and embracing the lovers we were meant to be?

Are many of us now seeing the Light, making the connections with the Divine Creator and our Divine Selves, and for the first time allowing the scales to fall from our eyes and from our hearts and embracing the words of Rumi by having our souls become gold when touched by the Beloved?
