Echoes of 2023: A Legacy Divine
Times lapse
In the year of hope, 2023, we sailed on winds of change,Through trials and dreams, in a world seeking range.Technology soared, and hearts found their voice,Amidst challenges faced, we made our choice.'Midst chaos and calm, we forged our way,In 2023, a chapter in life's grand display.With unity, innovation, and spirits ablaze,We etched tales of resilience in numerous ways.So here's to the year that dared to be bold,2023, a story waiting to be told.In its echoes and lessons, our futures align,A year that sparked hopes, a legacy, divine.

Shadows Within: A Journey Through Depression
In shadows deep, where light recedes,Lies a soul in which despair breeds.A tempest rages, unseen and vast,A haunting silence, echoes cast.A weight, an anchor, within the mind,Chains of gloom, so intertwined.The sun's bright rays seem far away,In the clutches of a muted gray.A void within, an endless sea,A labyrinth where one cannot flee.Whispers drown in this cavernous space,Lost in the maze, no guiding trace.The heart, a drum, in somber beat,A symphony of sorrow, incomplete.Each step, a mountain to ascend,In shadows where hope and light suspend.Yet in this labyrinth, faint and stark,A flicker lingers in the dark.A beacon glows, a hand to lend,In kindness found, a path to mend.For in this journey of pain untold,Resilience blooms, a hand to hold.From depths emerge a newfound might,A gradual dawn, a flicker of light.

Inshallah
Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.

Such a positive look at the last year. I love the idea of "sailing on winds of change."
