Almost everybody has an avatar, so would you like to share why that one has been favoured ? What is the story behind?

Some are clear enough like mine, but there must still be something to say and here are a few sentences about mine; As a person who loves her country ,I believe that no one else has been able to represent our country as well as he has done at least for forty years.

Now it is your turn ....:)

Mine is the head of a Malamati dervish. I find the Malamati outlook appealing, I love the expression on the guy's face, and the earring is quite a nice touch; for those reasons, I chose that particular head as my avatar.

I have chosen that avatar because I am distant from my hometown (KDZ Ereğli) for 3 weeks now.I am a teacher in Bartın and I sometimes long for my hometown.:))

If you ask my recent avatar , I was proud of being an English teacher.However ;Being proud of something may be belong to satan.Please forgive me my God.:))

I'm getting on for forty and am desperately watching behind the good old days that are passing by like sands of hour-glass.


POEM AT THIRTY - FIVE

Age thirty-five: that means half the course,
Like Dante, we stand midway in life;
Our youthful verve, vigor and resource
- Wanton is our plea, in vain our strife -
Drift away blind to tears of remorse.

Look at my temples, are they snow-clad?
O my God, is this wrinkled face me?
These eyes rimmed with rings purple and sad?
Why are you now my arch enemy,
Mirrors, the best friends I ever had?

All this change is more than I can bear:
None of my pictures here could be mine.
Where did all those days of joy go, where?
Can't be me, this man smiling benign.
It's a lie that I am free of care.

Our first love looks hazy, far away,
A memory driven from our heart.
Friends who set out with us on life's way
Took separate paths and strayed apart.
Now our loneliness grows day by day.

Odd, I find out that the sky can turn
Into other hues, that stone is hard,
That the waters drown and the flames burn,
And each new day brings a painful load-
All these at thirty-five I could learn.

Autumn, quince yellow pomegranate red;
Each year I felt it's closer to me.
Why do these birds circle overhead?
And these ravaged gardens that I see?
What funeral is this? Who is dead?

Immutably death is all men's fate.
"Slept, never woke," will be the story,
And who knows where or why or how late?
You shall have but one prayer's glory
On the throne-like stone-bier while in state.

To the young ...

I know what it is to be Young

when we are young age has no meaning
I never gave it a second thought
until one day along came this old man
and this is what he said to me
yes this is what he said to me

I know what it is to be young
but you, you don't know what it is to be old
someday you'll be saying the same thing
time takes away so the story is told
I have so many questions
for the wise man i met
couldn't find all the answers
no one has theirs as yet
there'll be days to remember
full of laughter and tears
after summer comes winter
so go the years

so my friend let's make music together
I'll play the old while you sing me the new
In time when your young days are over
there'll be someone sharing their time with you

As for my avatar; when I joined the Dilforum, I did not know how to put a picture in this part so I requested Kili Hocam to do it for me. As I am interested in NLP, he has found this picture which is pretty suitable for me. So ,since then I have been using that.:)
