A dervish, I dance my way through life;
A dervish, I pause at the gate that takes me to death.
A dervish, I know I cannot pause long;
A dervish, I leap, a leap of faith
into the arms of the spirit that dances not,
the spirit that is waiting to embrace me,
the spirit that forever stands still.

i died as a mineral and became a plant
i died as plant and rose to animal
i died as animal and i was man
why should i fear
when was i less by dying

I have seen the dervishes in Konya, Turkey and also they came to Houston, Texas in the 1990's. At the Mark Rothko chapel. Amazing all the time.
I am a new friend of Sushama and I am enjoying reading some of her words.
I am a world literature/ art history professor and I go by the name of Grace. Always loved Rumi and Hafiz.
Greetings to you all from the great state of Texas.
REPLY 22w - +tony langmach There are some videos depicting the Dervish music and dance on YouTube. You would love them.
REPLY 22w - +Texas Texas Always looking forward to sharing your experiences of and insights into world-literature and art.
Thank you for building bridges between people.REPLY 22w - As hard as exciting the aspiration of human being to the spiritual accomplishment looking for balance and peace!
Are we really able of turning ourselves ... into the gates (Torii gates came to my mind) or living bridges (like whirling dervishes dance) between the two worlds, the material and spiritual one?
I don't know it!
Just like my father, a biologist, I know for sure that:
"Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed"
...the Wheel will roll round for ever!
Why would I be afraid of death? Thanks again for eveything, 🌷REPLY 22w - 22w
