A week in Ankara and 3 days in Izmir

Hello !

This week passed at Ankara was passed with the compagny of friends, Yüksel, Zehra, Mehdi, Aylin, Youssouf, Murat and Ayça and met some new people.

It was like an immersion in the daily life in Ankara, with all the activity, preoccupations or difficulties of our friends and with the Silo's Message which give unity to each of us.

We have a lot of good times together between tea, meal, feeling good, peaceful and joyful to be together !
The Silo's Message here plays its role as a refuge...
We shared 2 cérémonies (ended by kurdish and french meals), first one with Zehra, Youssouf, Ayça and Murat, and second with Aylin, Yüksel, Aytan and Youssouf.
In the middle of this week i joined Yüksel at the book fair of Izmir for 3 days.
In this huge exhibition, Yüksel had a stand with a lot of books and some Silo's Message books.
It was not easy to present "our" Silo's Message book, in this mass of book, but we enjoy our life and we sold some books and we have had good contacts (and change email/phone) with some people who, in fact, live in Ankara or Istanbul.

Last days in Ankara we moved a lot to solve the comming of Aylin, Yüksel and Katibe to Attigliano the 17h,18th and 19th of may.
Finally, with the internet help of Isabel and Savario we arrived in deadline to deposite all files, and all seems ok. Now we wait for the visa the 13th of may.

After a few days of this, I feel great gratitude to our friends and Silo's Message, through simple acts, we lived with the feeling of sharing a great and deep experience open to the future.

I feel with new benchmark here in Turkey, with more openness and a strong desire to continue to share this Message here and try to help bring further.

Big Hugs.
Christophe.
