....been thinking alot lately about those who influenced me, and just realized after searching kabir how much this tremendous interpreter and performer of rumi has influenced my direction as poet and performer. Yes lord buckley gives me the out there edge, but it's coleman barks who led me to the mysterious east and the ecstatic poets.....his letter to Bush.... http://www.uga.edu/islam/barks.html
