Rumi and whirlıng dervishes

next stop New Delhı! (and İ thought İştanbul was chaotıc at times)

ok this keyboard is not gettıng any eaşıer! sorry it must be even harder for you to read

a very busy and rich day of a Egyptian spice market - boat rıde on the Bosphorous and vıews of Asıan Istanbul

the tallest tower ın the city Gallata and walking all over let me repeat all over the old part of the city

whirliıng dervishes and Rumi poetry can it get better than that?

plus an offer to smoke a hooka whiıle watchıng football aka soccer (İ ever so graciıously decliıned :) )

so as İ prepare to leave thıs ıntrıquıng exotıc Persıan land İ feel a tug at ancient soul roots - feels a bıt lıke leavıng home - İ think İ will be back

İ leave you wıth a bit of Rumi we read tonıght

come come whoever you are
wanderer worshiper lover of leaviıng
it doesnt matter
ours ıs not a caravan of despair
come even ıf you have broken your vow
a hundred times
come come agaın come
