Good evening and thanks for being here. I am very excited to be with my newest best friend, eboo patel. I have had a wonderful time reading his book. Im very excited about having a conversation with him and in drawing him into that drawing you when that conversation. One of the delights is his disclosing something of his own spiritual practice, particularly during the holy season of ramadan. He had me when he said that prior to entering the day he would get up, have his small breakfast and then have a time with a poem. One of my favorite poets. I thought it would be wonderful if we all could have a moment of centering around one of his favorite running pomes. How does that sound . All right. Thank you for that invitation and thank you all for being here this is a poem that i actually first heard in turkey. Come, come, whoever you are, wonder, worshiper, lover of leaving. It does not matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come
