Missed me? I missed YOU for sure. Sorry for the long wait but I needed this break to get it all together. The long process of "soul-evolving" has come to a new stage and I am really excited about it. Yes! I am a little bit scared too, because this is something totally new. Wait until... hmmm.....Well, just wait!
Last week I started reading Uncle Coelho's "Winner Stands Alone" - (Kazanan Yalnızdır) and as usual the novel has been superb so far. Below is a very short story from the book. Whatever you are going through right now, the main idea in the story can be applied no matter what. Enjoy!
A seagull was flying over a beach in the Black Sea when it saw a mouse. It swooped down from the skies and asked the rodent,
“Where are your wings?"
Each of them spoke a different language, and the mouse did not understand what the seagull said, but did notice that the animal standing before it had two big strange things emerging from its body.
"It must suffer from some disease," whispered the mouse.
The seagull noticed that the mouse was staring at its wings and said quietly,
“Poor thing! It was attacked by monsters that left it deaf and robbed its wings.”
Filled with pity, the seagull took the mouse in its beak and swept it away for a ride in the skies. At least this will bring memories of the old days, the seagull thought as they flew higher and higher. Then it very carefully deposited the mouse back on the ground.
For a few months the mouse was a very unhappy creature, it had flown high up in the sky and seen a vast and beautiful world.
But as time passed, it eventually grew used to being a mouse again, and thought that the miracle that had taken place in its life was just a dream.
Feel free to let me know what you think about the story.

Here's the Turkish version of the same story for those of you who feel more comfortable.
''Martı, plajın üstünde uçarken bir fare görmüş. Hemen alçalıp fareye sormuş:
''Kanatların nerede senin?''
Her hayvan kendi dilini konuşur, o yüzden fare sorulan soruyu anlamamış. Karşısındaki yaratığın gövdesine takılı o iki tuhaf, iri şeye bakıp,
''Bir hastalığı olsa gerek,'' diye düşünmüş.
Farenin, kanatlarına baktığını farkeden martı, ''Zavallıcık,'' diye geçirmiş içinden.
''Birtakım canavarların saldırısına uğramış herhalde; hem kulaklarını sağır etmişler hemde kanatlarını alıp gitmişler.''
Fare için çok üzülen martı, hayvancağızı gagasıyla tutmuş, göklerde bir gezintiye çıkarmış. Ama gökte uçarlarken, ''Evini özlemiştir belki,'' diye düşünmüş ve fareyi büyük bir özenle yeniden yere indirmiş.
Aradan aylar geçmiş, farenin yüreğine bir hüzün çökmüş; yükseklerden baktığında ne kadar engin ve güzel bir dünya gördüğünü anımsamış. Gelgelelim, zamanla yeniden sıradan bir fare olmaya alışmış, yaşadığı o mucizenin bir düşten başka bir şey olmadığına inanmaya başlamış."
