We are almost there!!!!!
After 4 months of readings, arrangement, farewells and training, the day of our departure has come!Tomorrow we are flying from Istanbul to Delhi, making a stopover in United Arab Emirates.
Yesterday we finished our backpack staffs and we realised that its possible to carry in a 60 liters backpack the two percent of the things that you have been keeping and accumulating during long time in some hungry wardrobes located in some hungry flats settled in some angry cities... So... Now we believe we are able to do more things because we are more light...Maybe now we can experience directly the tyler durdens quote: it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything...
In our backpack process we were asking many times this question...Do we really need everyting we are owning? Definitly not... We are starting to notice in our mind the real freedom that it comes when you realize that everything you really need you can carry on your own back.
Now we feel free of the fear related with this crazy thought which says: you are what you have... It was not easy to escape of this consumerist society's belief but at the end we did it (or at least we are trying to do it)...
Now we are starting to be what we feel not what we have
Every body should be careful with this because the things you own end up owning you... Would you like to be free??? Try to pack everything you have in a backpack.... It is an amazing therapy.
Tomorrow we are taking a plane to our particular path but the journey to Ahimsa actually started last month... During june we have been traveling around this amazing country called Turkey which I love it as much as my own country. Turkey has a lot of things to discover ( amazing places, meals, history,etc) but in my opinion the best of this country is for sure the Turkish people!!!! We are leaving here very good friends and one amazing family. Thanks to support us in this period of our life!!!! Çok teşekkür ederim!!!!
Tomorrow we will post here the first song which Elif has created for this Journey to Ahimsa... We hope you can join us with your good wishes from all around the world.
Peace, love, compassion and music !!!!
