Sufism

After being introduced to Sufi poetry, it seems to me their main focus is their devotion to god and love. For instance, there are poems that deal with flight and death as a way to get closer to god. Also is a sense of searching for who they are and where there place in life is. Sufi poems are often in first person narrative which makes the words and context more personal and reflective. The video, along with the background information, of how Sufi poetry can be performed was really interesting. I found the whole idea of “tripping” in order to fully experience the style quite attention-grabbing.
