Every moment spent, I used to wonder,
Could anything this good possibly endure?
Love's tender plea, you made me promise,
In whispered vows, to never leave your side.
Promises unspoken, I never thought to seek,
Sacred bonds, to ask the same from thee.
Eternal solace, a lifelong journey.
About the Creator
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.
