I am reading East West Street now. I came upon this article whilst looking at some Wikipedia information. Thank you so much for the honesty, intelligence, clarity and humanity expressed within. Illuminating in these dark times.

Dear Ron, Thank you for reading. I was so glad that Friderica and I finally got down to doing this. We have been talking for years and felt that now was the right time to make parts of this conversation public. I am so happy that you feel the article has the effects you describe. These were exactly our intention. I adore Friderica's art and was so pleased when she agreed that we'd create a mini-gallery of it in this article. Sending love to you, Julie

Greetings from Portugal! My favorite book about Sufism is Mystical Dimensions of Islam. I am no expert, however. https://www.amazon.com/Mystical-Dimensions-Islam-Annemarie-Schimmel/dp/0807899763
