Blind Man's Buff


How can you see the cherries in winter?!

How cant you see? I witnessed the parade of shadows here like all others did…made me chill, made me sweat at the same time, and still does. I stole as many glimpses as possible of the screeching-red lingerie of Madam Life, but it is time to close my eyes for my eyes to be opened, it is time to die before death comes.

Don’t know how to close my eyes and jump into my waters, sounds difficult!

The more acquaintances you get here the more self-alienation you feel, means, the closer you get to what you are surrounded with the less familiar "you" looks to you…Take the risk of being a stranger to everyone and discover walking on the world’s territory without your feet touching on it...
Where to start?

Close your eyes and smell the cherries, get naked from the clothes others put on you to be able to cover yourself freely…Stitch a coat from your own texture and you will find a cherry tree to lean against…

A modern-day sufi writing. It's like Ibn Al-Arabi* having a conversation at a family run cafee in the Northwest. That's a delight to read.

Deep & light !

Eywallah!
It is good that you brought him to my mind today...By the way he got married and wrote one of his books (Journey to the Lord of Power / Risalat al-anwar)in my country. (thinking loudly: is this detail of any significance? Not really)

Thank you for your words, felt good!

Really? He wrote that one in Kuwait???

I am Turkish:)
Kuwait's official history goes back to 1710s(AC)as far as i know and the book was written in 1200s(AC)...

Happy 2008 (AC)! :)

Devil Finch said...

Yeah. I was not talking about "official" history. :P


Or maybe I just indirectly asked about you country.

PS: Don't embarrass me again.
