She revealed herself to me, left no room for mystery.
Told me all of her history.
How she has this tendency to get her heart broken repeatedly.
Cause she falls in love so easily.
She said, “love is a dangerous beast.”
As she showed me where it last sunk its teeth.

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.
