Life is an eternal journey in Love.

Always forward the light that liberates the souls.
It is the mission of poetry and art.



Each one of us is a planet in its own right.
Through each of our lives we are constructing a huge earthly constellation.
The important thing is not to deviate from the trajectory of self-fulfilment and social contribution to the happiness of self and others.
To strive for the happiness of both ourselves and others is the honour of a true global citizen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gratitude is one of my favourite words.
Because it forgives the past and comforts the present,
brightens the future.

If you are lost in life, look for gratitude.
It will surely guide you in the right direction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even a single rose is changing itself every day.
The beauty of the rose is the radiant grace of its transformation,
and the eloquence of its fragrance that tells us that we too can change.

 

 

 

Love is the progressive energy of growth and maturity.

Sometimes, it is difficult because of that.
People who are not afraid of love are those who can break out of their shell as far as they can.
They would be the happiest on earth.
Fortunately, I am one of them.

Both of growth and maturity is my purpose in life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I spent many years fighting an incurable disease.

Ten years, or more accurately, many more years.
Every day I died many times and witnessed my funeral many times. And every day I revived many times and witnessed my new birth many times. 
 As I later realized, my life brought this unusual experience to me as a gift that I deserved to receive because it was me.

Instead of the illness pulling me, desperately away from the work and people I loved, like a demon, it had given me a philosophy of wisdom of the deepest dimension.

It is a way of thinking and living that finds the greatest value even in seemingly the most negative events.
It is a law of resuscitation that makes my heart as strong as the most brilliant diamond, that accompanies the hearts of the people who are suffering more than anyone, and that allows one's life to shine brightly and without regret for the rest of it.
As I received one such gift from the illness, and then another, and another,  it magically began to heal like a piece of peeled paper.
Ironically or amazingly, the illness taught me how to overcome it.
Eventually I realized. Life had given me the illness for this. It has nothing to lose and only tries to make us stronger, sweeter and wiser.

So if you have a problem in your life, please don't despair. I want you to know that when you turn your heart to the voice and to the words of the problem is trying to tell you, hope will appear immediately.
Your life, at all times, loves you more deeply than anyone else and is excitedly looking forward to watching you grow.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is death? It is important to unravel and publicise this greatest mystery in human history. Because a correct knowledge of the meaning of death will bring about a deeper and greater way of living individually and free us, the human race, from unnecessary anxiety, fear, confusion and disorder.

One day I encountered the right meaning of death, which I had been searching for since I was six years old, and was moved and hopeful beyond description by the practice of this philosophy of life on a cosmic scale.
Death was not loss, destruction or demise. Death was a phenomenon of life, repeated countless times in past lives, this life and the next, and a necessary process of re-birth. We have all died countless times and been reborn countless times, even if we do not remember it. Just like the feeling I got during the long struggle against my illness. Life goes on with the eternity of the universe, and we all live and are lived in the eternity of the universe.

This is only about 0,0001% of the meaning of death that I have gained, or of life, and in fact there is such a vast amount of didactics that I am not sure I will be able to learn in my lifetime. But still I am sincerely and deeply grateful for my good fortune. Not only as a human being, but also as a poet. Because poetry is a human act that always goes to the abyss of the great universal truth, just as Dante in the Renaissance, Rabindranath Tagore who is a Nobel Prize winner and all the great poets in the history of mankind did. And all poets who can give people hope have a larger philosophy of life that goes far beyond their small selves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have experienced many goodbyes.
With a number of relatives, a number of close friends, a number of loved ones... so many (although, of course, I have been still meeting far more people than that…) for passing away or different kinds of separations.

This is probably because I have lived a life of frequent moves and travels since childhood. Like a Bohemian without a home. And like a free wind that is never dominated by anything, never looks back and never comes back.

I have never gone back to the place I once left. No matter how much I am desired and wanted. Returning to a place I did is like re-entering a school from which I have already graduated, and also I have no interest in living in the past that has passed. But with only one exception.
That is when the wind inside me smells of irresistible strong destiny, which is like an eternal mission. Not by emotion or logic.
And the wind in me has done it only once in my life so far.
Even if people say that they are not sure if there is still a good place for me there, it is because my soul has decided it. That is my soul home and that ones who are there are my intimite soulmates with whom I share the preciousness of life infinitely on a deeper level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When suffering strikes me, I wonder what meaning this has. Then life gives me an answer. It may not be immediate, but it will come.
But the best way to deal with it is to think about those who are in the storm of suffering far more than I am. Then I look for what I can do for them and do something about it. It inspires me to be brave and overcome the barriers of my own suffering. Living for someone else makes me stronger.
My new book was started with that purpose in mind, during the toughest period of my life. Over many years. I will donate the first 200 copies of my new book to the city and province. I wish the book to help someone's life who takes it in their hands.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love is something to give. It does not take, impose, bind or possess. Love is receptivity, understanding and, at times, harsh, kind and true advice, a good teacher who helps build on the strengths and goodness of others and a confidant to lean on when times are tough. Love is a mighty wing that grows as it flies through the skies of trust and challenge. Love dismisses fear and cowardice and transcends time, space and even death. Love is never self-sacrifice. Because those who know love properly develop the ability to enrich themselves through love. Love is itself reciprocity itself. At least, that is what love is to me. 

Love is a heart and an act that requires nothing in return. It requires wisdom, but there is no profit and loss.
Love is precious and great because it is unconditional. Its preciousness and greatness make a person grow to any extent, leave behind selfishness and fundamentally set the soul free.This freedom of the soul is the incomparable gift that love gives to those who know love best.
And that gift cannot be taken away, destroyed or lost by anything, but shines and flourishes in the eternity of life forever and ever.

I have been writing that philosophy of love over and over again in my poems. Because it is more and more important also in the future on this planet to keep telling it. And I have continued to tell that philosophy, not only in literature, but also in different ways that include visual art, but I intend to evolve it much more than before. Because I believe that continuing to show the existence of great love as the expanding cosmos of life itself, interconnecting the individual and the whole, is necessary to revolutionize the world for the better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most important thing in collaboration is respect for the other persons. I have been modelling for quite a long time, but the face the photographers are looking for is not necessarily my own. They look through me to see the look they envision, to the memory of their own lives, their ideals, beauty and contemplation or their own faces, hidden or lost body and the exhistances of themselves. So when most of the time I look at their photos, I feel that this is not me and very different from my own face. But I consider that's what photography is all about. Photography is creation and the model is a medium of the photographer's message and image.
I don't look for my own image in the photograph, I look at the mental landscapes and spiritual satges of the photographers who took it. And I do this with the same respect for their camera eyes as I have for each musician's presence on the stage of the performance.
Differences must be respected. Individual lives. And beauty and impression are born in the union of such souls and lives that are positively inspired by each other.
And this applies to life and the way the world is in general. Because what is needed to solve our human problems - human rights, security, peace, the environment, etc. is a justified and deepened respect for the dignity of life and the planet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is the ultimate gift that we humans all have? It is the strength to change one's destiny.
I have changed my destiny many times and then overcome life's difficulties. This is because I have awakened to the greatness of our inner power through obstacles, and I continue to practice turning on that switch every day without interruption.

It tells me that the value of each of our individual lives is greater than the treasure of the entire universe. And at the same time, it gives us many experiences that make us realize that any tragic destiny can be transformed into a mission for development and happiness that far exceeds the scale of those tragedies.

Happiness does not depend on the environment or on others, but on the strength to transform one's inner self and continue to move forward in one's challenges.

Awakening to your inner power will change you and your life for sure. Your tragedy, your destiny, your unfulfilled life will be geared toward your highest happiness as soon as you realize the value of transformation deep within your own life.

 

Turn on your inner power switch.
Shed your timidity, disbelief, and resignation.
It does not matter how old you are or what you have done in the past.
All you need to do is believe in yourself more than ever before.
Your life is waiting for the day you find it.

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Words need to be liberated. Because words not only reflect the heart, they are the heart itself.
Since I was teenager, I have felt that many words have been bound by the ropes of formalized institutions, prejudice, and discrimination in an invisible jail. So I started to express my poetry in performances in order for the words to meet freedom and love early in my careea.
The words I bring to the audience on the performance stage are not only poetry but also a voice, an in-breath, a warmth, an echo, a vibration, sound, and a living visual language. 
There is the tone and exhistance of the words as a free and independent entity, liberates from the rope of attachment to the meaning of the words. There are scents, images, melody and both pre-meaning and post-meaning narratives.
While I have always had such an organic relationship with words, I have also respected the role that words have to play in society and for individuals.
I am not interested in writing poetry that only ends up conveying emotions, phenomena, lamentations, and melancholy. Poetry should be a positive visionaire that heals people's hearts, inspires them, and attracts hope of the future. Because poetry is an action for living, and this world and the universe are moving toward the future every moment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many people do not realize that life is continuous and everlasting. Even if they encounter that truth, they may not readily accept it, or more often than not, they may laugh it off. At the same time, due to a lack of awareness of life and death, they are frightened of the shadow of death in the back of their minds and indulge in excessive pleasure or relentless power in order to forget their own fear of death itself. As a by-product of this, they repeat destructive acts such as war, which is a pattern seen in human history.

One of the most important things we need to do to avoid repeating destructive acts against ourselves and others is to learn the correct view of life and death. 　
When we wake up to the fact that life does not end in this life, but that after this life there is the next life, there is no need to move towards nihilism and desperation. And if we know that everything we do in this life will be reflected in the next life, life will move towards goodness, salvation and fulfilment.

Memento mori is a truth. But a deeper philosophy of life and death has already been given to us, the human race, by the infinite vastness of the universe. And the fact that the number of people who know this (who are also peacemakers....) is steadily increasing on our planet is a sustainable hope, as is the fact that the transformation of individual and human destinies are possible.

There is no need to fear.
Fear is born of ignorance, of not knowing the truth.

When you feel that you are always embraced by the universe, and when you can truly feel yourself embracing that universe, all fear is transformed into love for all living beings. The healing and revival of your life and soul begins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life is poetry. Because life is made of metaphors. Why don't people speak frankly and honestly about important things? Because words are born from the heart. When speaking delicate and complex truths, people use metaphors. Or sometimes there are no words at all.

The poet must decipher the silence, for it is more eloquent than a billion metaphors sometimes. And there exists a sea of deep and intense emotions and the forest of cries and tears for true love that those who remain silent show to no one. It is one of the poet's roles to reach out and embrace those lonely souls. 
And also to help them take off their silence and encounter the words that express their truth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time is one of the gifts that everyone of us is given precisely and equally.
And while it can bring fulfilment to our lives if we handle it correctly, if we continue to mishandle it, it can bring irreversible regrets.

One day I realized the nature of time and since then I have thrown away all my little pride. Because I have seen so many people who were so obsessed with it that they left important things too late, leaving them with regrets for the future.

When hesitation arises, I imagine ten years from now.
I wonder if a decade from now I will look radiant and without regrets.

In one of the long poems, 'Your warm soft pink innards',  I included in my first book of poems, there is a section saying 'Pride is for Abandonment', which refers to the happiness of shedding the obsession with the small ego, and also to the happiness of moving towards the great ego after that.

The obsession with the small ego spoils the possibility of a beautiful life by keeping away the pure heart of the good person and the opportunity to create behaviour and legends. People who test and toy with the minds of well-meaning others, who behave callously and meanly, or who drag on bitterness maliciousness and vengeance ,  are ones who lead a vain, unsatisfied and  unhappy life, in unawaring of the ugliness of their own small ego obsession.

No matter how you live, no matter how you justify yourself, time really passes in the blink of an eye.

 

Imagine ten years from now. At that time, wonder if the kind persons who care for you and give you good words and inspirations now, the wonderful opportunities that are a trial but unexpected, will still exist. And above all, whether you have any regrets, whether you love yourself, whether they will still live, Who you have honestly and truely loved best, whether you keep on chosing your small ego not the person whom you have honestly and truely loved best, whether you keep on chosing a stupid rumor, silly suspicion and wrong advice from ones around you to protect your small ego not the trueth, whether you will still be alive a decade from now or not, and whether your soul will be satisfied and love you or not. Wheather you will not be ashamed to your soul or not.

My life is so much more fulfilling because I ask myself these questions every day as I go about each of my tasks. Every night, I fall into a deep and pleasant sleep, thinking with all my heart and so much gratitude that I am thankfully the happiest I have ever been.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Word is prophecy. Perhaps we should say that it has the power of prophecy. That is why, through many experiences including my long struggle with illness, I have not put the tragic end into my poetic writing (although there was originally a rhetoric of hope in my early poems that just made them seem tragic...). Because I realized one day that almost everything that I wrote surprisingly would happen some years later in my life. We must be careful to chose words in writing. Whether it dose not hurt somebody or not. Whether it makes somebody happy or not. Whether it is good for somebody including ourselves or not. Choosing words means choosing life. And it is the most important to improve inner life and also revolute it because words which one choses come from one's inner selves.
Good thoughts and good imagination help us live for the better, the more beautiful and the greater. They are greatest nutrition. On the other hand, bad ones are always poison.
If you are not satisfied and feel vain in your life, change your thought and imagination to the good ones immediately. Inner revolution is needed for the both of individual life and the world more and more.
Uncosiousnessly we are all  influenced or dominated by the quality of thoughts and imagination which we have.
But, in fact, what influences and dominates us is the quality of our inner selves which chose them. The quality of our inner selves, for better or worse, creates the present and the future. 

The word is sometimes a mirror to reflect the future and what to make it, too. Therefore, we must choose the path that leads people and the world towards hope through literature, and we must have the courage to reverse the path that leads the world towards tragedy or in agreement with tragedy.
How can we heal people and the world and also make them realize that they are much greater than they think? How can people and the world meet a beautiful future that respects the dignity of life? True global citizens will continue to think and act in this way. Artists are no exception. And I am sincerely thankful that I am one of them and always try to create what is good for the world. And also I hope that my brand new book and artworks will help people who are looking for something to support them from my heart.
