1. I can see in some of my Survey of World Lit. students that the poetry of Rumi is coming alive for them, especially as they listen to Coleman Barks talk about and read the poetry.
2. I hope my students are beginning to understand something about the soul's longing for completion and how sorrow is our means of knowing that which we long for that is more than we are.
3. I hope my students are beginning to get a taste of the reality Rumi sees, how the world exists in ecstasy. Ecstasy only exists in the world because the world exists in ecstasy.
