The story of Driouch and the spinner

I imagine him now.. Whenever he desires a spiritual and psychological journey, he circles around himself in the upper library room, starting from the captivity of the mortal body, soaring in the cosmic space like any dervish from the Mevlevi dervishes. He is now freeing himself from his tired body, from his glasses, from his head covering, from his staff, from his worldly life, eager to meet, to be beside his beloved al-Hallaj on the outskirts of Sheikh Mrawaf al-Karkhi's cemetery, like a bird long estranged by exile, yearning to return to its nest at the end of the journey.. the end of the road, and the beginning of the whirling. This book is the biography of two lives, and the story of two men, the first a martyr Sufi, who lived in the third Hijri century, al-Hallaj, and the second a researcher and eminent academic, who lived in the twentieth Gregorian century, Dr. Kamel Mustafa al-Shibi, who reached such a passion for al-Hallaj, his poetry, and his life that he was nicknamed the lover of al-Hallaj, and the dervish of scientific research. The lives of the two men intersected without a physical meeting, but the spiritual connection and intellectual communication were what brought them together despite the difference in time.
