Blue Mosque
“Dancing is not rising to your feet painlessly
like a whirl of dust blown about by the wind.
Dancing is when you rise above both worlds, tearing your
heart to pieces and giving up your soul." . . . Rumi

| The dome and minarets of the Blue Mosque dominate
Istanbul's skyline. On my first evening in Istanbul, its light show
captivates my imagination, as I paint by candlelight from a restaurant
balcony. Loudspeakers blare the call to prayer, and the mystery of
Turkey begins to unfold.
“Dancing is not rising to your feet painlessly
like a whirl of dust blown about by the wind.
