{:en} Spring is making its presence known, with the weather warming up and magnolias already budding. A vibrant explosion of colors is just around the corner. Isn’t it remarkable how nature maintains such a perfect balance? Each season follows the next, bringing its unique palette and emotion, and I love them all. But I can’t help but reflect on a thought that’s been lingering in my mind—while nature keeps this harmony, we humans continue to disrupt it at an alarming pace. That said, I won’t dwell too long on the rhythm of the seasons. Today, I have a secret to share.Once again, feeling restless and eager to...

{:en} I heard a scorched, aching voice.At first it sounded like shouting;then I thought it would cry out.Instead, it poured itself gently,turning into notes.It was so beautiful—my God—for the first timeI wanted to besomething other than myself.That voice…Drops began to fall,one after another.Was it music? A sound? A word?Or was it meaning itself?Then it ended.I froze.What was I to do now?I had heard it once;I could not let it go.I followed it, held it,caught it,dragged the voice back by the collar,forced it into verse.It sang; I cried.I was ashamed.I cried again for what I’d done,and sighed.At that moment I wokeand remembered.Of course !… it was my mother.The...

{:en} You can spend hundreds of dollars on the latest skincare products, but if your gut is out of balance, that glow might never come. The secret to radiant skin and a stable mood starts not on your vanity, but in your gut. The health and diversity of your gut microbiome—those trillions of bacteria, fungi, and microbes living in your digestive tract—impact everything from digestion to immune function to mental health. However, what is less commonly discussed is how your gut health directly impacts your skin and emotional well-being. Skin breakouts, dullness, inflammation, anxiety, and mood swings may not seem connected, but they often trace back to the same...

{:en} Jupiter has moved directly into Gemini… Dear readers, greetings from the new week to everyone, Last week, Jupiter, the symbol of luck and abundance, started its direct course in Gemini. For those who ask why nothing is happening in my life, I should state that Jupiter worked divine justice in everyone's life dynamics while it was in Gemini retrograde. This means that we started to ask ourselves and investigate how correct our choices in 2021 were. Although we evaluate Jupiter as luck, Jupiter, that is, Zeus, reflects divine justice according to our connection with our heart so that he can open his wisdom to us. "Did we remain pure and innocent...

{:en} There are rooms  I have never known,  Seen but never entered.  My name is written on them,  My age is written on them,  On some, my destiny is written.  Some are ajar,  Some are locked.  Some are rooms of my heart,  Some of my mind,  And some are rooms of my soul... Beril Yabar  04-2024 {:}{:tr} Odalar var Hiç bilmediğim Görüpte girmediğim Üzerinde adım yazıyor Yaşım yazıyor Bazısında kaderim yazıyor Bazıları aralı Bazıları kilitli Bazıları yüreğimin Bazıları aklımın Bazılarıysa ruhumun odaları… Beril Yabar 04-2024 {:}

{:en} “Youth is wasted on the young.” – George Bernard Shaw Is youth really wasted on the young? Or do we, as we grow older, begin to speak to the young with a tone that carries a hint of complaint, a sigh beneath the surface? As if an unspoken sentence lingers in the background: “We struggled… now it’s your turn.” Or that familiar refrain: “You’ll understand when you’re our age… though by then, it will be too late.” this phrase is not really about the young at all, but about life’s peculiar sense of timing. The one thing that, once gone, is truly gone: time itself. The...
