I have learned that my cooperating teacher has many beliefs about…

The Persian Sufi poet and philosopher, Rumi (1207-1273) once said, “Look past your thoughts so that you can drink the pure nectar of this moment.”This quote resonates with my connection to Rumi and his philosophy because I believe that by disconnecting ourselves from our egos, fear, and judgmental thoughts we can create an opportunity to reflect upon our simple being and by doing so reach personal growth and a higher level of compassion for both ourselves and our surroundings. It was through…
