Twenty-Five Words Toward the Truth

Book excerpt: The pages of #25wtT can be read in any order. Each page features one poemette, containing exactly 25 words. The wayfaring reader is encouraged to find a poem, be still, and ponder for a while. Use #25wtT as a bridge between the heart and the mind. Reading #25wtT is like an old wine in a new wineskin. It is rich with lovely, evocative mystical insights, put into a format that is engaging, contemporary, and profoundly personal. Theres something about the brevity of these poems that cuts right to the heart of the matter... and our own hearts. Highly recommended for all spiritual seekers, particularly those of the Sufi tradition. Dr. Omid Safi, Duke University Skip Maselli is that rare world citizen artist; an All-American son of Hafiz whose reflections dont just synthesize what is highest and truest from East to West, but elevate him even more. I recommend this gifted poets writing with one proviso, prepare to be haunted by it. Maureen Seaberg, coauthor of Struck By Genius: How A Brain Injury Made Me A Mathematical Marvel (HMH, 2014)
