I think this is true and I appreciate your observation. I meet many of them at church as well. When I connect with the mystic in my fellow congregants (and anyone) I find it quite moving. You have encouraged me to be more observant and empathic.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment,<br /><br />David MarkhamDavid G.

Ladinsky is not translating Hafiz's poetry but writing his own, inspired by Hafiz and Ladinsky's own blend of spiritual sources.<br /><br />I know there are UU mystics, but I don't know how many of them are writing. They are people I meet in church.Amyhttp://sermonsinstones.comnoreply@blogger.com
