{:en} I love the holidays. The happiest and funniest of my childhood memories belong to the mornings of the feast. I remember when I was 9-10 years old in my pink dress, brand new patent leather shoes, and skirts flying up and down the stairs, trying to catch up with the holiday table, like today... My first article in our newspaper ‘Arttmodernmiami’ coincided with an American holiday, "Thanksgiving Day". Now I would like to tell you about the “Candy Feast” celebration. Candy Feast mornings are special. After the 30-day fast, the breakfast table is very enticing… The hands of the elders are kissed, and the little ones are...

{:en} For days with no end; Hungry and thirsty, I was without poetry and you... My heart imagining; The memory of your hands, Touching me with love, Shaky and slowly caressing my tanned skin... Your blue eyes looking tenderly, begging for mercy, And surrounding us is a thousand stars... They were the witness to this last night. How I imagined to make love to you one last night. But I know then I would never have the courage to leave this town and this state, The furthest I needed to get away from you and us, I knew I would suffocate, You keep breathing love, I share my mask And we keep falling Out of love And I keep sharing Holding my breath And you are in...

If you're wondering why I'm not there, I've been working on a big project for a while. I am working intensively on both my new book and a work I am working on.

{:en} Hello everyone, I'm Melda Sherman, welcome to the 5th edition of our “People of Another World” article series. I am writing from Boston. In this article, I will take you to the bottom of the world. Don't be surprised! I'm talking about the Southern Hemisphere. My interview guest living in Sydney, Australia is of particular importance to me because she is also a reader of my book Migratory Birds, and I thank her for this interview. In the interview, I asked her everything I wanted to ask her. Let's go to Sydney. Melda Sherman: Hello Mrs Buket Balaban, can you tell us a little about yourself? Buket Behçet Balaban: Hello,...

{:en} As someone who walks for an hour every day, I share with you its effects on me. You know, we say, "I need to clear my mind, I'm going to walk a little" or "The more I walk, the more I listen to myself and think more calmly." What we do is entirely meditation. Focusing on something and moving on. I wanted to introduce you to "WALKING MEDITATION", which you have heard or will hear frequently lately. It's a different way of meditating, like focusing on a specific object, a mantra, or your imagination, just focusing on the movement of your feet rather than stillness. It means...

{:en} The lands of Waitomo village, at New Zealand’s north islands of largest city Auckland, 2 and a half hours south of the city center. This is the holy site of the Maoris. In Maori language, ‘wai’ means water, and ‘tomo’ means hole. These endless lands used to be underwater 30 million years ago, that’s why the limestone walls of the caves are full of stalactites, stalagmites, and fossils of billions of sea creatures. And of course, one in the world blue fireflies, or glowworms… Arachnocampa Luminosa is a firefly species exclusive to the endemic structure of the island nation New Zealand. The top section of the cave is quite...

{:en} Hello everyone, Today, I'm taking you on a thought tour through the squares of European cities. There is something I want you to think about during the trip. Before you start reading the article, can you think about what the concept of getting together means for you? Humans have lived with the instinct of being together since their existence. Being in a community, not being alone, being together and the concept of belonging are an unchangeable parts of our lives. While these concepts affect our lives sociologically, they shape our living spaces and our environment in terms of architecture. The need to gather together leads us to a...
