About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to Know myself

ABOUT ME

I am just a mote trying to be reunited with her original spring. to accomplish this aim, I have to know myself, know my essence and what it encompasses. so, I cannot define myself but only say that I yearn for those days when I can define myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Om mani padme hum.
That's, every lotus has its gem inside. So my philosophy is that everyone is in fact "Creator" himself/herself, all we need to do is being aware of our potential and power.

Music, Movies, and Books

my favourite writer of all times is of course Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar and my fav. book is his novel named Huzur (translated as A Mind at Peace). for poetry, Orhan Veli is my hero and Sait Faik Abasıyanık enchants me with his short stories.
I like jazz/soul/ethnic music. Yansımalar, Göksel Baktagir are among those which give a metaphysical experience with their original sounds created by the instruments such as zither and reed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

once you understand that everthing is connected with each other and every incident- labelled as good or bad- is in fact just the circles of a long chain. Those times that I combined the pieces of that huge puzzle and come to realize that all we need is a panoramic vision instead of a segmentary one were the most significant times of my life. Then you abondon all kinds of artificial identities such as racial, gender and national.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are not tabula rasas, so teaching means in fact to remind someone of the things they had inside but forgot long time ago.
