Rumi is less interested in language, more attuned to the sources of it.....Rumi has a whole theory of language based on the reed flute (ney). Beneath everything we say, and within each note of the reed flute, lies a nostalgia for the reed bed. Language and music are possible only because we're empty, hollow, and separated from the source. All language is a longing for home. Colman Barks, On Silence Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
