Children of Abraham United
"The religion of love transcends all other religions;
for lovers, the only religion and belief is God." ~ Rumi
It was an amazing evening. Sponsored in part by the Rumi Forum for Interfaith Dialogue and the Amram Scholar Series, The Dervishes of Rumi whirled in the home of the Washington Hebrew Congregation-- perhaps the first time Dervishes have ever whirled in a Synagogue. It was an amazing evening of diversity and kindred spirits. Quite literally.
As i sat there with Heather (it was our "date night" -- some date, mmm? This is clearly the kind of date you get with a "God Geek"), she leaned close and whispered, "The Children of Abraham are celebrating together tonight." Indeed. What a woman. :)
"Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field;
I'll meet you there." ~ Rumi
