"The innocence of my life releases the God
I love everywhere." These are the words
of Rumi, 13th-century poet and founder of
the Whirling Dervishes of Sufism, as spoken
by the mature and melodious voice of Rosa
Parks. Her voice, American history, those
words, intense longing: Power. In celebration
of the human spirit.The Gift of Love is
a recitation of the love poems of Rumi by
Dr. Chopra and celebrity friends, including

Sensual Middle Eastern-influenced musi cbacks
the reading and provides breaks between
sections such as"Love Drunk" and "The Light
of Love." The Gift of Love is sincere and
potent stuff, unafraid of the deep physical,
spiritual, and mental hunger that Rumi's
words not only taste, but roll about the
tongue and swallow whole.--Paige La Grone |
