Many, many cups of tea

Let sorrowful longing dwell in your heart.
Never give up, never lose hope.
Allah says, "The broken ones are my beloved."
Crush your heart. Be broken.
-Shaikh abu Saeed Abil Kheir

Maybe you all have already heard of the book, Three Cups of Tea, but way down here in the Andes we don't get the newest (2007!) New York Times releases. I finished it this month and thought it had an extremely powerful message about creating peace in this world. If you are looking for your next book read, check it out. You will not be disappointed. Or, at least check out the website:
