This blog holds my inner conversations. It's that gentle push to blink open your eyes and get going. Think earthly possessions or a simple recipe. Think coffee. This is a blog pulling the lurex threads in an otherwise ordinary piece of fabric.

full moon at 7.52 a.m
we woke up really early in the morning, despite his late night with his poker buddies. we went downhill to the waterfront, ran, and watched the sun rise through the land across from us as we ran. we had coffee by the sea -i had coffee he had orange juice- and then i ran some more. "i am training for the istanbul marathon tomorrow." here i am sitting writing after a nice warm shower. we were awake and running by the water as the universe aligned the past, present and the future. seriously, you all were sleeping while you should have been envisioning your resolutions. haha.
pamukkale, aile havuzlari

cok eskiden, yaza denk gelen pazar gunlerinde (ben her ne kadar erkenden gitmek istesem de hazirliklar bir turlu bitmediginden) ogleden sonraya dogru belediye tesislerinin 'aile havuzlarina' giderdik. bunlar dort duvar arasinda, pamukkale suyuyla dolu ve ailelere tahsis edilmis dikdortgen minik havuzlardi, ve yer bulmak o kadar da kolay degildi. babam once bir telefon ederdi, benim zar zor oldugunu dusundugum ya da oyle dusunmek istedigim bir sekilde yer ayirtirdi. o anda sevincime ragmen (aile havuzuna gidiyoruz!!) nedense benim icime baska bir aileyle de havuzumuzu paylasmak zorunda kalacagimiz korkusu duserdi. anneanneme telefon edilir, annem sanki daha karar verilmemis gibi 'cocuklar gitmek istiyorlar' diye agir agir anlatirdi, halbuki yerimiz bile ayirtilmisti, diye dusunurdum, anneannem kurabiyelerini hazirlamaya baslardi; birileri aranir onlar da davet edilirdi. evin icinde telasla dolasilir, 'anne, bikinimin ustu nerde' gibi sorular sorulurdu. tek alinmasi gereken mayo ve havlu iken, sanki o alinmasi gerekenler bir turlu bitmezdi. tabi, eger bikinini icine giymissen ve ic camasirini almayi unutursan -ki bu sik yasanan bir vakaydi diye hatirliyorum- o zaman donus yolunda tam kurumamis ve hala biraz soguk olan poponun sortuna degmesi tuhaf bir his yaratirdi ki, bu hisse ve eve donsuz donuyor olmanin utancina katlanmak zorundaydin. artik yilina gore renault ya da sahin ya da dogan arabamiza binip havuzlara geldigimizde ve en sonunda o demir kapi kapanip, dunyanin geri kalani disarida kalip da, bizim dunyamiz o dort duvar arasindaki havuz oldugunda, birden cok rahatlar, bikinim icimde degilse yerleri beton ve soguk olan soyunma odasina girer, bir an once uzerimi degisirdim. sonra nedense havuza hic atlamaz, travertenden olan ya da oyle gorunen ama sadece beyaz bir kirecten ibaret olan merdivenlerden inerek girerdim. eger kuzenlerimin bebekligine rastlamis bir aile havuzu sefasi ise bu, cemos kucagimda, bu mutlu aile ogleden sonrasinin tadini cikarirdim. boyumuz genelde yettigi icin ya da havuzun kenarlarinda merdivenler oldugu icin -bir tanesinin korkulugu da vardi- suda birbirimizi kucaklama oyunlari oynar, ben annemi, gulin beni kucaklarken fotograflar cektirirdik. atmosfer ortaminda asla yapamayacagimiz bu hareket hepimizi cok eglendirirdi. gun ilerledikce duvarlar gunesi engellemeye baslar, havuzun once yarisi, sonra belli bir kosesi gunesli olurdu. golgeler gelip de biraz usumeye basladigimizda kurabiyeler hatta belki de haslanmis misirlar ortaya cikar, havlulara sarinilip istahla bunlar yenilirdi. en sonunda yine babamin toparlama cabalariyla, havuzla vedalasilir, varsa ic camasirlari ve uzerine sortlar, askililar giyilir, yorgun argin arabaya binilir, evimizin havuz suyundan sonra tuhaf gelen ama sacimizdaki kireci aldigi icin iyi de gelen dusuna girilirdi. dokusunu hala hissettigim o beyaz kirec duvarlar ve demir kapi, bir dahaki 'aile havuzuna gidelim mi' onerisine kadar baska aileleri icine alip havuz ogleden sonralari gecirtirdi.

elevation
i have to write down how i'm feeling today. it's incredible. i feel very serious, like i mean business but i'm not dull, i have energy that lasted all day. i don't need anything else to complete my joyous state of mind. the here and now is good enough, it's very good. i look in the mirror and see there is a light in my eyes. i didn't sleep well last night but i don't feel the lack of sleep at all. i go through my tasks like they are the easiest things to do, i talk to the silliest people without hesitation and without that sense of stranglement. it's interesting but it's not. when you think about jupiter and my sun together and the sun in sextile with both, it's not interesting at all. but it's rare, and i wrote it down so i can go back and read it on my low-energy days. i wish i could be this way- wish i could be this person 24/7.

thoughts
- yes, i thought it through.
- yes, i'm hundred per cent sure.
- i think this is absolutely for the best.
is it? you don't know. the signs point in the general direction of something positive but are they real, actual signs, or are they dreams, schemes and promises for the most part? you didn't look that closely. or you're so deep within that you didn't look from the outside. because you can't afford to. because you're in love.
you wish that was enough in and of itself.
you think maybe it is.
