mayBE YOU!
sittin’…behind me the owner of a hostel in istanbul snoring away todays success as the world calls to fill the vacancy for new years…to the point where some make the excursion only to get away from a christian holiday in their own country…
on my left a deformed christmas tree with colorless lights and an ancient lookin`space heater pretending to keep me warm…the smell=cigarettes for wood in a fireplace we call air…with the noise of nothing and a lost people in lost conversation outside the window of a cold hostel named sinbad…and soon the well known speakers will open their mouths from the great palaces of istanbul…it’s the last call to prayer, in a world where “the mosque” is your closet and the chants from empty hearts are your “tongues”…but who`s listening…imagine this world…where more than 14 million of HIS children roam the streets in search of a FATHER??? and few to tell them they are searching…a 2,000 few who choose to breathe the life of HIS breath and not be choked by the smoke of their own…is this your world…perhaps it is…does your world call you to prayer 5 times a day…does your world yearn for more than empty palaces or unfulfilled dreams of a holy pilgrimage…where does your spirit travel…what temple does your spirit worship in…how many are in search around you that you dont tell???
1 Matchstick + A World of Deadwood =who will ignite theFLAME??? 2 be continued…
