"Numi" is the pen-name I adopted in 2007 after a friend gifted me a copy of The Essential Rumi; by Coleman Barks. After reading some of my works, it was suggested that it reminded them of the works by Rumi. In no way do I align myself with this Great Master Poet, but I do feel a deep connection to his poetry, and the book of Essentials was my constant companion during a 5 year saga, where I was stranded in the Amazon Jungle of Peru, from 2010-2015.

To Die AloneThere are many ways of meeting death. We have become experts on the art of torturous murder. Science and technology have given us new reasons to experiment. But many of our current executioners are still in love with the Middle Ages. | 8 Views added 2 months ago | Rating |
