  • Go on! Go on!

    This week will be the last of my first year of being on my own, and I’m being reminded of that anniversary in numerous ways – including my yearlong subscription to this daily dose of Rumi (with the running question of whether the translations are faithful).  I signed up for this because of the Omer Project…
