Not Me, But You What matters is not me, but the one who steps into the dergah (the spiritual lodge). In our tradition that stretches back over a thousand years, the essential condition is readiness. Ready for what? Ready to listen, to see, to share. Only then does the visitor cross the threshold and become present as a subject. Until that moment, patience is required: "We forgive the created for the sake of the Creator." Be Respectful No words of judgment — “you are this, you are that” — should ever be spoken to one who has come to the dergah , whether in need, in curiosity, or for reasons known only to the heart. "Do good, and cast it into the sea; if the fish do not know, the Creator knows." Do Not Ask About Their State The visitor’s state is not questioned. Just as a physician lets patients sit in the waiting room, so too the visitor arrives, is welcomed, and waits until the right time comes. "Come, whoever you are; this is not a lodge of des...

Akan bir nehirdir ömrümüz, önceden sonraya doğru akan bizden bir nehir. İlkten sona, hasretten vuslata doğru, derinleşerek, sığlaşarak, dönemeçlerle akan bir nehir.  Bazen daha keskin olsa da nehrimizdeki dönemeçler, daha derin aksak da kimi zaman, şelalelerden ve uçurumlardan da düşse sularımız hep bir ileriye doğru akarız. Ne zaman başladık akmaya bilmeyiz, bulanık bir rüya gibi sanki alacakaranlıktan gelen sesleri hatırlarız.

Yokoluşların evreninde yaşarız, bu dünyaya bir mucize olarak gözlerimizi açtığımız andan itibaren değil, bedenimizi kendimize ait hissettiğimiz o büyülü andan beri. Kendimizi ne olduğunu çoğu zaman isimlendirmekte tereddüt ettiğimiz o “Ben”e yasladığımızdan beri.

Introduction The term “vandalism” is widely used today in law, business, and urban planning to describe the deliberate destruction or defacement of property. Its scope ranges from graffiti on public buildings to the digital disruption of systems. What makes the term distinctive, however, is its history: it derives from the name of an ancient Germanic tribe — the Vandals — whose reputation for destruction shaped an enduring metaphor. By tracing the journey of this word from its tribal origins to its modern applications, we not only gain historical perspective but also uncover insights into how language frames destructive behavior as a business, social, and cultural challenge. Historical Background The Vandals originated in what is now southern Poland before migrating westward and southward during the Migration Period (4th–6th centuries CE) . Pressured by the advance of the Huns, they moved through Gaul and eventually crossed into the Iberian Peninsula around 409 CE. For a time, they...
