Freefall to the Beloved
Golden Reed, 1996
Continuing the tradition of the great mystical poets Rumi, Kabir, Mirabai, and Mechthild of Magedburg, Jasmin Lee Cori writes in a voice at once ageless and modern. Full of longing, spilling over with love, Freefall to the Beloved captures the trajectory of one who can no longer hold back, but must indeed risk the fall.
Note: The book is sold out, but most of the poems are available on tape.
Not since Rumi have we heard the voice of a poet so in love with the Divine. Jasmin Lee Cori arouses our hunger for the true beloved: that place in every soul that opens into the Mystery, embracing the holy. Freefall to the Beloved belongs on the bed stand of every contemplative and poetry lover serious in the quest.
-Richard S. Shane, author of Stories The Heal The Heart
In these poems the heart’s music catches us, calls us, seduces us with the wonder and beauty of what is real. Spirit and body merge, reminding us of the wonder that is our true self. These are poems that catch the hidden light and part the veils between the worlds.
-Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, author of Sufism: The Transformation of the Heart
