I am so deeply moved by so very many things in this gorgeous piece, my dearest FIliziji. What a holy journey all tucked up into one post. I would have loved to have met your grandmother İsmet and feel somehow like I have at least a little bit through your stories over the years and also this beautiful post and tribute to her. May peace be upon her. I love that you have offered the world prayer + praise in the form of this new sacred word: pra(y)ise. And I will never (ever) forget that potent moment during the call to prayer that you captured on video in Assos last year. Praise be. ❤️ Praise for İsmet ❤️ Praise for the blessed family we ever and always are ❤️ Praise for your beautiful heart and gift with words (and videos). Praise Pra(y)ise. ❤️

Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you. Dear ones, this is so exactly and perfectly the seed I needed to take in to start this beautiful day. So exactly gloriously perfectly filling my heart and spilling over seeping into every cell and then spilling and seeping over drenching every thought and wondering awareness. Exactly what I needed to read in this moment in ways I can’t explain in word language but are clearly apparent to my spirit. So many points of truth and love and I can only say thank you deeply. I feel taken care of. Thank you thank you thank you. A trinity of thank you again.

Laughing… praise full…today is the first time I’ve received the Substack with ease and am happy that your sharing appeared. If I can figure out how to find Holy Mischief again I will read it five times today. Praise, the antidote to the worries. Praise, the practice of joy. Thank you thank you thank you. I recognise Debra too and am grateful. And so good to meet you Filik in this way. Thank you thank you thank you. Caterina.
