A powerful personal journey to find meaning and life lessons in the words of a wildly popular
13th century poet. Rumi's inspiring and deceptively simple poems have been called ecstatic
mystical and devotional. To writer and activist Melody Moezzi they became a lifeline. In The
Rumi Prescription we follow her path of discovery as she translates Rumi's works for herself -
to gain wisdom and insight in the face of a creative and spiritual roadblock. With the help of
her father who is a lifelong fan of Rumi's poetry she immerses herself in this rich body of
work and discovers a 13th-century prescription for modern life. Addressing isolation
distraction depression fear and other everyday challenges we face the book offers a roadmap
for living with intention and ease and embracing love at every turn--despite our deeply
divided and chaotic times. Most of all it presents a vivid reminder that we already have the
answers we seek if we can just slow down to honor them. You went out in search of gold far and
wide but all along you were gold on the inside. Become the sky and the clouds that create the
rain not the gutter that carries it to the drain. You already own all the sustenance you seek.
If only you'd wake up and take a peek. Quit being a drop. Make yourself an ocean.
