los dias 25-26-27-28-29,
When we
arrived in Isthambul, we met with Lucia and Simone who arrived from Israel two
days before and shared with us their experiences, intuitions and inspired “new
look” .
It was very
interesting to see how similar are the experiences we all have and how
important it is to share them to build together a new style of life.
In the
evening we went to see Jonturk at his place and there we met 5 couchsurfing
friends of his: two Russian girls, Nicolas from Chile and Ben from United
States. It was important for me to see how each of these “not-ordinary”
situations could give us the opportunity to speak about Silo’s Message and could help us to move
towards our intention.
On Friday
we went with Lucia, Simone and Isabel to visit some beautiful Sinan mosques in
the European side while Eduardo was dealing with some documents and Judith was
spending some time with Julie who just moved to Isthambul and was setting up
her new house with Husseyin.
In the
evening we were all invited for dinner in their cute new little house and had a
very joyful time sharing their happiness for the life they will start together
and doing two very inspiring ceremonies to charge the place with positive
energy.
The
following morning Csefko arrived and we went to pick him up at the airport with
Huseyin.
It is very
interesting to see how each new person who arrives changes the energy of the
group carrying new inspirations and good intention to the common project.
In the
evening we had a very charged meeting at the Salita with lots of friends: Canan,
Katibe, Yigit, Sibel who came with her boyfriend Bircan and Jonturk who came
with Ben, his American couchsurfing friend.
Everybody
seemed to like the light and cheerful atmosphere of the Salita so we continued
our evening together first with nice interchanges
in small groups in various ambits of the house and then during our daily
evening walk by the sea.
This
interest people were showing in sharing time with us asking question and being
emotionally opened left a very positive
sensation in me as if a new part of
project was starting because I could see the birth of an “ambit” in Isthambul .
As a matter
of fact we could propose to have a daily seminary on the Golden rule to our new
friends.
Sunday was
actually a full day for me: full of positive emotions and in a very special
“climate” because I experienced lots of intentions becoming true.
The night
before we agreed with Mervan and Katibe to have the traditional Turkish
breakfast together and they took us to a very nice “cultural” bar that looked
more like a family place than a traditional restaurant.
These are
special moments for me that give me the opportunity to deepen in the
relationships and to show our friends that we don’t want to pass something to
them but to share something with them.
We arrived
home at 4 o’clock to start the seminary and we waited for our friends: Yigit ,
Meral and Canan arrived, so the room was full! We had 5 new Turkish friends
interested in deepening in the Message
themes!
Meral,
Mervan and Yigit helped us a lot with the translations because Canan and Katibe
could speak only Turkish. It was so good and inspiring to reproduce one of
Silo’s works here, dividing us in small groups of interchange as if we were in
one of our Parks!
In some
moments I really wished I knew their
language but that was the only difficulty I experimented!
When we
went for our habitual walk by the sea that night we were all so happy about
this new step!
On Monday
we took a “holiday day” for ourselves and we went to Burgasada, a small island
just in front of Isthambul, a very pleasant resort, really close to the city,
where we could swim and rest! I found it very good to integrate the experiences
of the previous days and to share positive views about the future of our
project!
In the
evening Katibe came to visit us, showing that she was already missing us and
then Ana arrived to share a nice meal
that Eduardo prepared for everybody to wish a pleasant journey to Simone and
Lucia who were leaving the following day.
Tuesday was
a really pleasant day for me! I woke up with this inner feeling of being rich
and grateful to life. I met Isabel for breakfast and she was in the same
internal state! We went to a cultural café to write our notes and to share our
comprehensions while breathing together the air of this city that we love so
much! After a while Csefko and Julie joined us and shared the same good mood.
And the day went on according to this frequency: we went out walking in the
afternoon, discovering new interesting “bits” of the city and stopping sometimes
to do our askings and thankings.
As you can
see “nothing” really happened …. It was living the experience of feeling happy and to accept life as it comes without
desiring something different from what we have!
