zedalized flew to türkiye on an odyssey to find what he was missing
he found it,
in the cats and gulls of istanbul
on the train to ankara
floating in the hot air balloons of capadoccia
and in the soul with whom He shared the journey
this beautiful soul
how do i spare it from my yearning?
because i yearn for them
but i am Here for a reason
and nobody knows what the future holds
how do you choose a rose to water?
a garden to grow?
what season should i plant?
what soil should i use?
how much shit fertilizes a strong stalk?
i want to unlock the keys to happiness
nobody quite understands my pursuit of this goal
perhaps you will
perhaps you won't
and that scares me
but that's the whole point
i'm here to learn to be scared
flowers don't last forever
sometimes just a season
and i hope you last many
but each spring i find it harder to replant
please don't hurt me like i hurt her
please don't hurt her like i hurt her

Re: türkiye
turkey is a far stranger land than most realize, a geographical crossroads where religion, history and mysticism intertwine to create artifacts unlike anywhere else. living here and delving into the esoteric has allowed me to perceive a layer of this country that is rarely discussed in mainstream tourism. these are things you generally wont hear from a tour guide.
take the hagia sophia for instance. while officially dedicated to the "holy wisdom" of christ by the orthodox church (and now a mosque), there is a deeper, more esoteric current running through its origins. in gnostic traditions sophia represents the divine feminine, and in some narratives she is the mother of the demiurge (the blind god). to the esoteric eye this structure stands as a monumental temple to that primal, cosmic sophia—perhaps the first and only true shrine to this specific gnostic concept in known history.
if you ever find yourself in istanbul there is another location you must visit to truly understand the citys darker, more mystical underbelly: the basilica cistern.
this subterranean water palace is shrouded in an atmosphere that feels ancient and heavy. the most striking feature here involves the symbolism of medusa. while archaeologists will tell you the two giant medusa heads at the base of the columns are merely reused roman construction material, esoteric symbolism suggests a deliberate purpose. in ancient beliefs the gorgon was an apotropaic figure—a protector used to ward off evil and negate negative energies. it is thought that she was placed there to serve exactly this purpose.
but here is the strangest part that i have heard in local esoteric circles, a claim you wont find in history books: there are whispers that the energy of this site extends as far back as druidic priests. i have heard accounts suggesting that druids performed rituals here dedicated to the darkness of the cosmos, long before the stones were settled as they are now.
turkey is a profound enigma. my focus here was on istanbul, but for those with eyes to see the entire land offers a shift in perspective. if your path ever leads you here and you remember this post, it might just change how you look at the stones beneath your feet.
