Hello friends,
today March 6th was very rich in experiences and meetings.
It
started with meeting Huseyin Boztepe, a student whom we met during the
book tour in Antalya in June 2012. We met at Hacibaba Cafe at 2:00 pm
and after some calls because he couldn't find the cafe and with help
from a waiter who explained in Turkish how to find the place, Huseyin
arrived and we talked for an hour and a half about the Message, internal
experience, of what happens to people who need a deep change. It was
very interesting talking to this young friend, 19 years old, open and
receptive and we will meet him again in the next days. He couldn't come
to the weekly meeting because he had a date with his family, but it was
very nice meeting him again after almost a year.
Before we went to meet him, we prepared some good food for after the ceremonies.
At
5:00 pm we had a meeting with Mehdi, also at Hacibaba cafe. Lory stayed
home because Isabel and Donatella were due to arrive at six.
At 6:30, Mehdi and Peter
arrived home and found Isabel and Donatella. A while later Yüksel came,
and then other friends. Aylin, Murat who brought a friend called Abdula,
Zehra with a friend of hers, Cengül. So we were with 7 friends from
Ankara, Isabel and Donatella and Lory and Peter. Eleven persons total.
In the kitchen, some very
beautiful conversations took place, very animated and the atmosphere was
very warm and joyful among everyone, together with çay and sweets.
At about 7:45, we went to the salita where the two new persons were well included in this beautiful atmosphere.
After a brief explanation of
how the service is, made by Zehra, she guided the ceremony in an
excellent way, as usual. The experience was very intense for all those
who participated, and the salita was surrounded by the atmosphere of
light produced by everyone.
In this wonderful atmosphere we
did the Well Being, guided in a very heartfelt way by Aylin. We asked
for Mehdi's mother, who is called Mariam, for our friend Zeinep who is
still taking care of her mother, a friend of hers, a doctor who caught a
virus at the hospital, for Cengul who suffers from depression and to
Abdula, whom Murat said needed some well being.
The Well Being was also very
intense and luminous. Everyone felt so and commented on it at the end.
Many intense hugs to transmit the best and thankfulness.
Something
very good is gaining strength among our friends from Ankara and we
agreed with Zehra that she will continue the weekly meeting when we will
leave, giving permanence to the meeting for all our friends, until
Christophe and the others arrive.
We quickly reorganized the
salita, putting two tables so we could eat together the food that had
been prepared. We continued this well being in a friendly atmosphere,
sharing food, çay and sweets. We laughed a lot because a spontaneous
Turkish lesson took place, with the help of Aylin and Mehdi. We agreed
to an English/Turkish lesson tomorrow with Aylin, Zehra, Medhi, Peter,
Lory, Isabel and Donatella.
Besides this, Mehdi invited us
over to his house tomorrow to do a small celebration, accompanied by çay
and something to eat and he asked us to do a ceremony in his house on
that occasion.
We agreed to meet with Murat and Abdula on Friday to talk some more.
Tomorrow at noon, we will meet
Hulya and her parents at Hacibaba cafe. She was supposed to come to the
meeting, but she told us that she had a meeting at work and wouldn't
arrive on time. So we will meet her tomorrow.
It was a day full of good
things and experiences which ended with long talks of experience between
Lory, Isabel, Donatella and Peter in the kitchen.
Here are some pictures to show what we commented. When you click on the photo, the album appears.
A big hug to everyone.
Lory, Isabel, Donatella, Peter, Mehdi, Zehra, Aylin, Yüksel and Murat
