 popular poets in the U.S. today. He was born in present day Afghanistan in
  1207. In his first few years his family fled the Mongols and after many y
 ears settled in Konya\, in present day Turkey\, when he was in his twentie
 s. On his father’s death\, he took over the leadership of the Sufi religio
 us school at the age of 24. In 1244 he met Shams-i-Tabriz\, a wild dervish
  who quickly became his mentor and intimate\, spiritual friend. Rumi becam
 e consumed by this friendship and was thrown into terrible grief when Sham
 s disappeared\, possibly slain by some of Rumi’s jealous students.Rumi’s w
 onderful poetry\, so powerful today\, comes from his awakening out of this
  grief. He became\, and has remained\, one of the leading mystics of his a
 ge\, and some say of all time. He died in Konya in 1273 at age 66. People 
 from all religions attended his funeral as each saw him as a prophet of th
 eir own. (Text by Adrian Vyner-Brooks)“A road might end at a single house\
 , but it’s not love’s road. Love is a river. Drink from it.” - Rumi\nThurs
