Come, come, whoever you are – wanderers, worshippers, lovers of leaving.
Come, even if you have broken your vows to yourself a thousand times.
It doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Just come, come to the here and now, again and again.
– Rumi
Men’s Soul Tavern Dinner
Thursday, May 8th, 2025
The 13th-century Persian poet Rumi often used metaphors to convey spiritual and mystical themes. One of his most famous metaphors is that of the “soul tavern.”
In Rumi’s view, the soul is like a traveler who has been wandering in the desert, looking for water to quench his thirst. Our “Soul Tavern” is a place where the traveler can find refuge and replenish their spirit, just as a traveler in the desert would find shelter and sustenance in a physical tavern.
