You know, that's a great example that then at the end of the novel, the revelation that she has whether you're watching a movie or the, or reading the novel, that this is something that, oh wow, this matters to me and I hadn't realized that all along it was what it mattered. It was the thing that mattered to me. So, you're using, when you're talking about self revelation, the idea of revelation in a very interesting way, which is that there's something outside of somebody else that there's something so if you're, if you're the one, if you're the partner and you're, you're the one, and somebody's revealing themselves to you. It's like you're there they're disrobing their soul, and you are seeing more of them. And, and this was a kind of a bit of a surprise to me to find out about more the religious kind of the religious being of revelation, where in a way it's God who has pulled back the curtain open up the robe to reveal himself in some form, and often revelations are accompanied by the some kind of miracle that happens. So that that caught me a little bit by surprise because I always have thought of a revelation of something internal that you you think of that dawns on you. I think that the bath true. Oh, yeah yeah absolutely absolutely. I'd like to share a little story that kind of goes along with that kind of revelation where it's something is supposed to open up. And you're wanting it to open up a a striving for a religious experience when I was a kid. Okay. So when when I was 10 11. My parents started sending my sister and I to Methodist church and as a first time we really gone to church before growing up prior to that we hadn't been very religious and I, we'd go to these youth group meetings. And I would see in moments of prayer and, and a lot of the other children starting to cry, and to feel something very powerful in emotional these moments. And I didn't cry. And I felt like what's going on I want to have this experiences powerful experience that they're having I remember lying in bed. And this is probably yeah probably when I'm like nine years old line and bed, trying to convince myself that I'm not even God. So I'd say, okay, now I believe

in God. I believe
