Kindness, gentleness, and a passion for mystical devotion permeates Omid Safi's inclusive and potent spiritual teachings. As a queer person, I've been dealt a great deal of pain from spiritual teachers. It has made it much easier, however, to identify when people are genuinely loving and when they are merely invested in building up their own ego. While I am new to both Sufism and Omid Safi, I am grateful for a kind teacher to share wisdom from this rich tradition.
