Dear friends,
Today was a day of cleaning the house/salita for the weekly meeting and do some grocery shopping.
Early in the morning Huseyin went back to Diyarbakir. When he arrived he called to say the trip had gone well and that he would be back next week.
At 16:30 Eduardo arrived from Istanbul to spend some days with us.
After having talked for a long while, exchanging news and information, Peter prepared food for after the meeting.
At 18:30, Yüksel arrived and shortly after, Mehtap and Zehra, who greeted Eduardo very joyfully, for being in Ankara and we had chai and biscuits, all the while talking in an atmosphere of good friends. Aylin also came and she was very glad and happy to see Eduardo and we continued talking and having tea. Handan called to say she was close by and at 20:00 we started the ceremonies. We put the Book in the middle on the floor and Yüksel took it to guide the service. He did it very well and we could very easily connect within ourselves. The meditation was on Principle 12. During the ceremony a very intimate and charged atmosphere in its silence and in the end we were very connected to each other. Yüksel put the Book on the floor and this time Aylin picked it up and she also guided us beautifully in the ceremony of Well Being. The same intense and intimately heartfelt experience repeated itself and we were all very grateful in the end.
Peter proposed to meet again with those who could next Saturday to read the Book and exchange about the texts. Mehtap and Zehra signed up for sure and the time will be 13:00. Handan and Aylin need to see if they can and will tell us in the following days. Yüksel must travel so he will not be here on Saturday. He asked if we could repeat it another day and we said yes.
Once this was done, Mehtap, Zehra and Yüksel had to go whereas Handan and Aylin stayed to eat together with Eduardo and Peter. We had another tea while we waited for the food to be ready. Handan also brought some good food to share which she had prepared at home.
We had long conversations, sometimes with lots of laughter, but everything went very well and it was a very close and intimate exchange, we felt very close to each other. It really was very interesting and gratifying, because we are in this process, also with other friends, of deepening the issues of the Message and relating them to everyday life and to what happens to us internally and in relation to others. It is giving us the opportunity to give more meaning to our weekly meetings and the other moments of the Message, especially this permanent nucleus we are.
At 22:30, Handan and Aylin went home together and we agreed to see each other in the next days.
Mehtap confirmed her invitation to have dinner at her house and meet her family and will let us know exactly when.
Tomorrow there will be many things, but we’ll tell you about them tomorrow.
A big hug,

Handan, Aylin, Mehtap, Zehra, Yüksel, Eduardo and Peter
