That night, when you escape your fear of snakebiteĪnd all irritations with the ants, you’ll hear Although I can’t say I’ve ever attempted to practice the art of the “Whirling Dervish”, I tend to agree with Rumi’s position that music has the power to bring us closer to the source of ourselves and to each other.
