Özet:

 

It rained when I got on the plane in Toulouse. A couple of hours, a  stop-over and few intermittent glimpses out of the window later, Istanbul  finally stretched out underneath me: a panoply of Lego-sized rectangulars  and a multitude of pencil-thin lines meandering to form the intricately  designed pattern of an embroidered carpet, its broad blue edge sprayed  with knotty, wooly-looking white. Flying in along the shores of the Sea of  Marmara, I looked down on Istanbul’s buildings, boulevards, and boats.  Here and there stalagmitic minarets boldly pointed their tips towards the  late summer sun. Still wrapped in the sadness of burying a friend in the  Midi and feeling the soft-heartedness that only death and love stirs within  us, the sight of the city actually made me smile. Even though flying back  to Istanbul had been difficult at times over the past four years, it was not  difficult today.
