Veysi



The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore – Mevlana Rumi

Veysi was picnicking with his family and his friends’ family. They are from Eskisehir, for me another 2 days walk. He teaches Turkish language, and we had a nice conversation in English. Together we searched for the word for red fruit, that the most of the times comes in pairs. I made the gesture that you can hang them on your ears and so we found the word. And we found out that we hang cherries in our ears in all cultures.

Veysi asked to sign and date his quote so het could save it for later. And I learned from him that is more common to speak about Mevlana as using the name Rumi as I do. Mevlana is more devine, so i will adapt to that.
