Prologue: Tell-Listen

When a man makes up a story for his child,
He becomes a father and a child
Together, listening.
--Rumi

In the beginning was Story. For every story a soul. You are not conceived in the flesh but in story. The body is the temple where story and soul, like father and child, tell-listen together.

Let us all tell-listen together.
I will tell-listen my story with you.
You, tell-listen too.

I have loved Rumi for many years.

There was a time when I adored his poetry for his words of "Love" for humanity, I have now learned to admire him also for his love for "Words" describing our humanity.

He is my company for many random pleasant thoughts when I need to live through some sleepless nights.

Rumi & Tango; together, they are wonderful treats for anyone's restless soul.
