Poem:

Very few books actually survive with a hardcore declutterer. Some books you get on the web. Other come from the library. Then to survive after being read is a incredibly high standard in which very few survive. They have to be a classic as well as repeatable as well as meaningful. The few that survive are from an author like Rumi. They probably have to be Spiritual. They could progress in a series! Rumi says at the end of Book Three: “Dear Reader, if you want to read some more, You’ll find the rest by looking in Book Four. “ What a marketing genius. If you wanted to Study in Oxford but didn’t make it, you can buy the Oxford classics! DS Poem July 17, 2018 I finish reading Book Three of The Masnavi translated by Jawid Mojaddedi and already bought book four. Oxford Classics Tommy takes the Ferry in NYC
