Kate is the host of Friday Fun
so please post about your etchings and link back here
An etching of Turkish poetry in the form of a whirling dervish.
It is a gift from a good friend of mine which she brought from Turkey a couple of years back.
Rumi, the famous Persian poet settled in Kunya, a city in Turkey. Whirling dervishes are followers of his school of thought. They submerge themselves into the thought of God and whirl around in abandonment.
In Turkey, this is a very popular tourist collectible.
When I visited Turkey, I brought back this statue of whirling dervish.
A fun prompt from Kate this week.

Yes, Patricia, it does. I’ve seen the performance of the whirling dervish as well. It’s mesmerizing.

It sounds like what children do, just for fun. But it’s said that children are closer to the Creator. They haven’t been through as many trials.
Very cool, Sadje!💃🏼🥳💕

Thanks Jeff. I wish I could understand Persian so that I would be able to get the full meaning behind his words.

You’re welcome, my friend. Mmm. I hadn’t thought about that before, and I think that would be amazing. When I read Rumi, I let it sit, and I discover over time, that there is so much more there. Sometimes it’s days later. It would be powerful to read in Persian.
