A surprising, joyful and dynamic day of the Message in Ankara
We started the day with the works to install the new heater. Denis went to deepen his studies on Mani at the park close to the Salita, while Yüksel and Hüseyin were busy at their jobs.
At 1:00 p.m. the new flaming heater worked perfectly. We will notice later that is uses too much gas and we will need to fine tune it.
Later, Yüksel invites us to visit his mother.
There we go crossing the big and busy city of Ankara. We stopped on the way to visit some of Yüksel’s clients and then we have tea with one of his friends and we quickly propose the game of the Asking. We are welcomed with smiles and lots of sweetness. We quickly feel close to one another and it is clear that sharing Silo’s Message helps a lot.
Finally, we decide to go take the bus to Yüksel’s Mother’s house. Due to the endless traffic jams of the city, it takes us an hour to get there. We arrive with the night on top of a mountain towering over Ankara, giving us a new and luminous view.
“Why not a Park here?”, exclaims Yüksel.
Our visit to Yüksel’s family will be a very short one. We will live there a deep and delicious moment when we proposed his mother and brother play with us the game of the Asking.
It is always moving to see the eyes of the other light up once they read the sentence of Silo’s Message written on their chosen card after having asked an inner question.
At that moment, we shared the deepness of Silo’s Message in an inexpressible, brief instant, a moment of contact with another time, another space...
The sentence in the card chosen by Yüksel’s mother fills us with joy “Contradictory or unifying actions accumulate within you. If you repeat your acts of internal unity, nothing can detain you.”
But we must go back to the Salita, the weekly ceremonies on Wednesday are waiting for us.
In the city, Yüksel leaves us to continue his visits to friends.
At seven-thirty at the Salita, we are 3, Hüseyin, Denis and Christophe. Our guests seemed not to have been able to join us. We decide to wait until eight and do the ceremony anyway.
Just before eight, Yüksel arrives with 3 other persons: Reyhan, Yilmaz and Anil.
Hullaballoo in the kitchen, before doing the ceremony, we prepared the meal.
In the meantime we got to know our new friends.
Yilmaz explains that he had already been to the Salita on a Wednesday but he had never wanted to join the ceremonies. Today he has decided to try his first ceremony.
Hüseyin guides the Service and Reyhan the Well Being. Two beautiful and unitive experiences.
Seven joyous Messengers share a meal after the ceremony. Ending the feast with delicious pears in orange sauce...
While our 3 friends went back to their homes, we (Denis, Yüksel, Hüseyin, Christophe) went to the other side of the city to have some tea in a cafè of Yüksel’s friends...
And so this humble and brotherly journey of Silo’s Message in Ankara...
A strong abrazo
Christophe
