All wonderful. The Jollimore is so musical! Re the Boruch, I got curious, googled and found that 64% of female songbirds are now known to sing, according to recent research. The Rumi needs to be pasted to the computer. Thank you.
The poem from Rumi is the prayer of every artist! Thank you for all of these!
