Hidayet



All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen – Mevlana Rumi

Hidayet Kalkmaz was collecting wood with his son in the fields with their pickup-lorry. We greeted and we both continued. Me walking, they by car. Later in the village Başarait tuned out that I was dumping my trash in a bin in front of his house. He invited me in the courtyard to have a coffee. Which he presented on a tray and in a nice cup with a saucer. The coffee brewed in a pan. He served me 3 cups before the pan was empty. Along the coffee he showed me a pin he got from some Australian cyclist. They stayed at his place. I gave him the card which was on top of the stack. He was not really sure what it has to do with him. When I insisted he should keep it. He placed it in his wallet. I presume to show to the next passer-by.
