{ "item_title" : "I Came to Build Some Hearts", "item_author" : [" Narin Hikma "], "item_description" : "In thirteenth-century Anatolia, a farmer walked three times to a saint's lodge and three times chose a sack of grain over the blessing being offered. Then he stopped on the road home, sat down in the cold, and turned around.That turning - small, unheroic, made in the middle of nowhere - produced one of the greatest mystical poets in human history.I Came to Build Some Hearts is the story of Yunus Emre: the fourteenth-century Turkish dervish poet whose songs of divine love, radical inclusion, and the sacred hidden in everyday life are still sung, memorized, and pressed into strangers' hands seven hundred years after his death.Narin Hikma traces the arc of Yunus's life from the failed harvest that emptied his family's jar, through forty years of carrying wood at a Sufi lodge, to the decades of wandering the Anatolian roads singing poems in the language of the people who needed them most - not the scholars in their libraries, but the farmers, the women at the millstone, the elders carrying grief with no name for it.This is a book about: The invisible labor that prepares us for what we are meant to makeThe courage of the wrong choice - and the grace of turning aroundSeeing the sacred in the faces of ordinary peopleWhat it means to build a heart, and why it is the only work that lastsYunus Emre came to this world for love. After seven centuries, the love is still traveling - forward, toward you.I Came to Build Some Hearts is for anyone who has ever carried something invisible for a long time, wondered if it was worth it, and needed to hear that yes - that was the preparation.
