Some of the the Crusades.
Was it the Fourth Crusade, the sacking of Constantinople had happened just around the time that he was born?
Did those things also affect um the where it is that the family went and the you know the politics of the time influencing their destination or their safety?
So then like at thirty-eight, he is in Anatolia.
He is a renowned preacher.
Many green belts of people are coming to hear him preach.
And and something happens which seems to be like a a volta, a turning point in his life.
I'd love for you to talk to us about that and maybe bring us into some of the poetry about that too.
Yeah.
The way within which Rumi writes to and about Shams is an unashamed, unabashed love.
It's extraordinary.
He sees him almost sometimes do you say that he he sees him like the cave, almost like where Muhammad met God, that that Shams is the cave where Shams is the cave where where Rumi um kind of reaches a a further apex of his own mysticism.
Yeah, please.

I mean I've heard some people who read some homoeroticism into the relationship between um Rumi and Shams.
Could you talk about how it is that you respond to that or think or interpret those ideas?
Yeah, somebody will shout it out.
