PURER THAN THE MOON, CLEARER THAN WATER

"May 2025 be a cheerful, vibrant year with a soft heart. It’s not long now. Let it come with beauties. I believe in the power of shadows and the luck of odd numbers. May it bring us all good fortune.

They say this winter will be harsh. First and foremost, may our health and well-being be in good shape. Let many of us turn our winter into summer. May our loved ones always be by our side. When we feel cold, let’s hug them. Let many of us make salep with plenty of cinnamon and linden tea when we’re cold. May the cold pass in the blink of an eye, and may summer come again. Let the figs be sweet as honey, and let the melons not be bitter this summer. May the wind blow gently. May the windows always be open. Let birds fill the room. While sleeping, may it only cover your waist. Let us dream of a summer night, just as Shakespeare said, ‘May he love you the way you love him.’**

This year, may the stars and planets always be on our side. May astrologers praise our 5th house. Let celebrations and festivities be abundant. The risings, fallings, retrogrades… whatever happens, may our joy always remain intact.

May our abundance be like the blessings of Halil İbrahim. Let the gold we hold and the gratitude for what we’ve let go be our treasure. Let us know how to both give and receive. May our balance be like a sensitive scale. ‘The good loses, the beloved gets hurt…’ Let’s ignore these words. Since when did people start recommending evil to each other? Goodness is always good, let’s not forget. Let us continue to believe in people with all our hearts. What can make a person feel stronger than this in life…

This year, let us desire one thing as much as we desire to breathe. They say if we want something that much, it becomes impossible not to happen. Let’s go back to our childhood. Not to fix things, but to remember how we used to dream such wonderful dreams. Let us build a pure dream of what we truly want, like a child. Let our hearts be as pure as the moon and water. Then, let’s wait and see how it becomes real…

With love…"
