About this title

From the Author

Following are excerpts from letters and/or reviews.
"What melodious song did Professsor Morris hear that led him to his current work? I don't know, but I give homage to the one who sang it and the one who listened." - Awareness Magazine

"Message from the Sparrows is as good an introduction to Sufism as you are likely to find... It's engaging and informative, and a marvelous way to find out just what 'IT' is all about." - Napra Review

"'He who tastes knows' is a Sufi aphorism that turns education upside down and makes our own experience the tap-root for wisdom. I wish there were a thousand courses like this in American colleges..." - Frederic A. Brussat, Values and Visions Reviews Service

"What Message from the Sparrows does is make you think. Call it what you will: philosophy, religion, Sufism, or simply thought-provoking... Message from the Sparrows takes an age-old ideology which now seems new-age, and applies it to today." - Keene Sentinel

"The trajectory of each of the tales, parables, fables, myths and stories woven throughout the book is so cleverly placed and paced by Morris, that the subtlety of progression -- the slow building of knowledge, of insight and of wisdom -- as the book unfolds toward higher and deeper consciousness is rather miraculous." - Alan Berliner, film-maker
