Tell it back

Tell what you learned in your own words. What you write stays on this device only, and no one else reads it.

  1. Where would you start if you told this to a friend?
  2. What surprised you or did you like most?
  3. Sum it up in two sentences of your own.

Writing here needs JavaScript; the prompts read and print without it.

Write at least two sentences, or tick that you told it, to earn the stamp in your passport.

Overview

A path through the way of the heart: al-Hasan al-Basri plants, al-Ghazali gathers, Ibn Arabi contemplates, and Rumi turns. The gnosis of the community.
