Preferred to stay at home for a while in order to live in seclusion, Veysel Baba was feeling sad and lonely following Silent Foot’s farewell to this world. Regardless that his naughty friend Pancho Mancho visited him from time to time, it seemed like his loneliness failed to cease. Veysel Baba tried writing stories or doing paintings in order to change this devastated mood. Yet, he was unable to forget his beloved friend Silent Foot. It was really impossible to do so. The exhausted man was feeling that a part of his soul was still missing Silent Foot.

Following the good old days experienced in the mysterious Shoreditch Park with great memories, this emptiness became unbearable for Veysel Baba. If he didn’t insist on his friend Silent Foot on the questions regarding the Holy Ark, the joyful days spent with his beloved friend Silent Foot would have continued forever in the mysterious Shoreditch Park. Nevertheless, things have changed and a deep loneliness caught his soul.

During hopeless moments, the warmhearted fox appeared at the heart of mysterious Shoreditch Park has revived his soul by offering a brand new life. By this intervention, she also made Veysel Baba to remember many good things in life. There was sincerity, self-confidence, cooperation, sacrifice, understanding, unity, spiritual and emotional unity in the approach of talking fox.

The exhausted Veysel Baba has found love, fraternity and emotional unity when he met with the kind fox on that cold winter night the mysterious park. He failed to find such values in other people throughout his painful and tearful life. It seemed like certain mystical powers have caused this friendship to be established on solid grounds by focusing on mutual love and trust.

During the tearful moments of loneliness, Veysel Baba thought about recent incidents. He also thought about the creation and perfection of the universe. He realized the intervention of a magical power in creation and he also considered the parallel universes, billions of galaxies, possible life in those galaxies, mysterious creatures, giant stars, the big bang, the judgment day, another world, heaven and hell. He also thought whether the people shall be questioned in hell due to their material sins.

He thought of good things that are done and the warmhearted people. He considered helping to those people loving nature and animals, sharing beautiful moments, standing against conflicts and avoiding religious or racial discrimination. He also thought about the global robbery mechanism, the greedy capitalist system, the rich people intending to add more and more to their existing wealth, the never ending desires, the ones suffering against their efforts, the miserable condition of African nations, the water insufficiency in Africa, the stolen natural resources, the massive immigration, the world pushed to the edge of a disaster, the bright future stolen from us, the Holy Ark, the date indicated on the doomsday stone, Lord Parapanu, Princess Batavine, Silent Foot, her clever daughter Goze, St. John’s Hoxton Church, the mysterious Shoreditch Park, his fox friends residing in this park, the good old days, the stories told to cute baby foxes, the Tale Road and the beautiful dreams that he had.

As he was walking on the Tale Road, he used to dream for a heavenly world without evil, robbery, exploitation, injustice, illegal actions, lies, disloyalty, sins, tortures, massacres, wars, enemies, environmental damages and animal massacres. He also dreamed about a world where our bright future was not at stake. As he was walking on the Tale Road, he thought about the joyful voices of cute baby foxes playing beautiful games and flying kites in the sky.

But the contrary case occured. All of his dreams were left incomplete. The dark and painful days of losses have come back. All the fears, trembles and sudden faints have knocked his door again. In addition, the dark holes and endless wells were also waiting for his arrival together with sleepless and fearful nights. It seemed like he has returned to the deep loneliness, despair and dissappointment. Therefore, he locked himself at home in order to spend his remaining days in seclusion.

This exhausted man lost his hope on this world and the bright future. It seemed that the fabulous days experienced in this mysterious Shoreditch Park ave reached to a final and everything has begun and ended just like a fairy tale. Once upon a time, when the fleas were actually barbers, camels were brokers, wolves were shepherds, foxes were coops, the lions turned to herbivorous ones, the fishes started to live on plains, the birds were pilots, the ants were tailors, the bees were policemen, the frogs were singers, the turtles were doctors, the cats were nurses, the grasshoppers were running the groceries, the bears were butchers, the butterflies were painters, the nightingales were poets and I was rocking my mother’s cradle, there used to be a dream world beyong the Kaf Mountain somewhere far away. In this dream world, a Fairy Tale was actually happened between a man and his dear fox friends.

The name of this place where Taleteller Grandpa was telling beautiful tales was Shoreditch Park. In order to reach the dream world told by our Taleteller Grandpa, you need to cross the Tale Road located at the very center of this park. The ones named this road were in fact the dearest fox friends who used to live in this park but moved to a farm house in the course of time. The dream road the Taleteller Grandpa Veysel Baba took at nights was named as Tale Road by his dearest fox friends. Many joyful days and nights were experienced with full of dreams just like a hundred and one nights told by our Taleteller Grandpa. When the Taleteller Grandpa was crossing on this Tale road with the purpose to meet his fox friends and tell them the best stories, he repeated the name of a new story every time. Then, every step of Taleteller Grandpa has turned to a brand new tale.

They say the Tale Road croosed by Veysel Baba every night has beome orphan after Silent Foot’s sad farewell to this world while other fox friends have moved to the farm house located outside London and the Taleteller Grandpa has locked himself at home. Those epic days experienced in the mysterious Shoreditch Park were left behind. Everything was just like a fairy tale. Our Veysel Baba experienced such a tale and his beautiful dream brought a great sorrow after recent incidents. Great King Parapanu and beloved dear wife Princess Batavine made an intervention to help him as they witnessed his pains. By giving the codes of a mystical password, they made him to meed with his dearest fox friend again.

Finally, Veysel Baba was really happy. He was going out every night to walk on the famous Tale Road. As he reaches the end of this long and narrow path, he needs to say the mystical password in order to arrive to the Tale Land behind Kaf Mountain and meet with his dearest friend Silent Foot and other fox friends waiting there. Those beautiful days filled with many dreams and the fabulous nights have returned for our Veysel Baba with the help of Great King Parapanu and Princess Batavine.

It was like a dream for Veysel Baba to visit this place by putting a mask resembling a fox face and tell beautiful stories to the cutest and curious fox friends waiting for his arrival in this mysterious park. The farewell moment followed by deep loneliness were over. Our warmhearted Veysel Baba would now dream more for this journey every night in order to return to the good old days.

As Veysel Baba preferred staying at home following the moment of farewell, he tried hard to recall the previous nights experienced in this mysterious Shoreditch Park. He wrote down all of his experiences with a magical pen. Veysel Baba named his meaningful and message driven stories as Shoreditch Park that is a mysterious park located close to his home. So, this is how the Shoreditch Park Stories filled with many secrets is created for you and your cute kids. By those stories, the children around the world would know that the exhausted and lonely Veysel Baba closer. In addition, the kids would also know the Shoreditch Park, a talking fox Silent Foot, Lord Parapanu, Princess Batavine, the Wind Haired Girl, the 8 Kinder House, St. John’s Hoxton, the Holy Ark, Veysel Baba’s farm, Goze and the Tale Road.

A girl read those stories one day has seen the Taleteller Grandpa in her dream. In this dream, the Taleteller Grandpa told one of his dreams. He advised the girl to wake up and go to the mysterious Shoreditch Park immediately in order to keep those stories alive by telling to the children around the world and spreading the messages in those stories through the impressive fraternity among the foxes. He also advised the girl to repeat a secret password and said:

“Oh, beautiful girl ! Smart girl! Cute girl! You are a selected one. As you are such a good hearted girl, we wanted to visit you. This excitement coming from your heartbeats have impressed us together with your beautiful dreams you had when you were reading those stories with many secrets. Tonight, we wanted to get out of this fairy tale land and came here to give you an award.

Oh, beautiful girl! Smart girl! Cute girl! If you also wish to walk on the Tale Road or take a trip to the Fairy Tale Land behind Kaf Mountain, or if you want to listen to those beautiful tales told by the Taleteller Grandpa, then you should wake up from your dream.

“Oh, beautiful girl. Tell our words to your mother. In order to walk on the famous Tale Road and arrive to the Tale Land as well as to hear joyful stories from the Taleteller Grandpa together with the fox friends residing at this mysterious park, you have to wait for midnight and wear your pajamas with slippers. You have to take a fox mask with you together with a blanket and a pillow. You also need to walk on the Tale Road by holding their hands and repeat the name of story as you were crossing the Tale Road. You have to say the code I told you three times as you arrive to the end of Tale Road. After you complete those steps, a secret door will be opened for you. When you touch this door without hesitation, a mystical light will cover your body and your family. As you pass through a colorful foggy cloud, you will reach the Tale Road. We will be waiting for you and your family there.”

The warmhearted girl woke up with excitement and she went to her mother’s side. She told every detail about her dream. The mother of house started thinking about what to do in the middle of a night and how to answer to her little princess. She said: “We were once children, too. We also had some dreams. We were also a part of some mysterious dreams and fairy tales. So, I have to take a step in making the dream of my little princess come true.” She awakened the father and told the entire story.

After a while, the parents and their little princess left their home numbered eight at Kinder House in their pajamas and the slippers on their feet together with the fox masks, colorful blankets and small pillows. They went to the mysterious Shoreditch Park. As they crossed the Tale Road silently, they arrived to the final point. At that moment, the little girl said the code given by the Taleteller Grandpa for three times. Suddenly, a giant and magnificent door appeared. When the little princess touched the door fearlessly, it has been opened and a mysterious light covered her body and her family and directed them to a foggy cloud heading towards the Tale Land.

Everything has happened in the way that the Taleteller Grandpa told to little princess during her dream. It seemed like the warmhearted parents and their beloved girl have arrived to the Tale Land by changing the dimension. Everyone was expecting them there! Our Wind Haired Girl, Taleteller Grandpa, the talking fox Silent Foot, the cute baby foxes, Lord Parapanu and his beloved wife Princess Batavine, the members of Great Council of Foxes and the lord of squirrels King Gavange.

The ones waiting for the family in the Tale Land have welcomed their guests with great hospitality. Then, the Taleteller Grandpa Veysel Baba told one of the best stories to new guests, his fox friends, Gavange and the Wind Haired Girl one by one. As new guests arrived to the Tale Land behind Kaf Mountain all the way from London, they had a great night there and returned home by the first lights of next morning. They returned home and fell asleep in peace by crossing the famous Tale Road just like the exhausted and lonely Veysel Baba preferred to live in seclusion.

They say: “How happy are those who have dreams and how pleased are the ones making their dreams come true” and they also say: “How happy are those who take the road in order to make a beautiful dream come true and how pleased are the ones showing great efforts in making a beautiful dream come true”

And they also say: “How happy are those who take the road in order to make a beautiful world come true and how pleased are the ones showing great efforts for a better world” …

And they also say: “How happy are those who take the road for love, frienship, peace and brotherhood and how pleased are the ones showing great efforts in building a bridge of love” …

And they also say: “How happy are those who take the road for a beautiful future and how pleased are the ones showing great efforts in building a bright future” …

They also say that the warmhearted Veysel Baba would build a unity of love among the people crossing the famous Tale Road. If they succeed in finding the secret code, then they would pass over the mystical door in the Tale Road opening to the Tale Land. They would listen to the exciting stories told by our Taleteller Grandpa. In this famous Tale Road, there is an eternal happiness and internal peace with fraternity and friendship. How happy are those who take the road on behalf of love, peace, fraternity and friendship. How pleased are the ones following humanitarian values. How pleased are the ones walking through the Tale Road…

They also say: After a long time, some decent people who read the Shoreditch Park Stories have met to form a unity in actions and hearts. Those people were meeting every Saturday night in their pajamas together with the slippers on their feet, the fox masks, pillows and blankets in their hands. They were leaving their homes and walking through the Tale Road. As they reached the very center of Shoreditch Park, they were placing their pillows on the ground to sit. By telling the best stories with their colorful blankets, they made this beautiful spirit in the Shoreditch Park Stories to remain alive. Therefore, the Hackney Municipality has made this beautiful tradition even more meaningful and turned this tradition into a festival to which all those decent people loving the fairy tales would attend every year…

They also say: Veysel Baba and his dear friend Silent Foot were pleased to see those incidents from above. The message was received. They were pretty sure about the bright future of today’s world.

Who knows, a mysterious door would be opened to take you to the Tale Land where the Taleteller Grandpa and his beloved friend Silent Foot are waiting for your arrival there. With love and with regards.. Veysel Baba from Dersim.. from London …

Now, it is the time to say goodbye. I will be out following my final words. And all those fabulous days will gone by the end of Shoreditch Park. I would like to say farewell to you, decent readers. I want to spend the rest of my life with my naughty friend Pancho Mancho. What’s meant to be stated is written. As a person fulfilled his duty, I would like to lock myself at home just like my dearest friend Silent Foot and wait for the day I will taste the potion of death. In other words, game over. The curtain is closed.

In an Anatolian way of belief, spirituality is usually referred to “seclusion” or “being locked in internal world”. According to the Anatolian Saints, as the members of Anatolian Nosairian community living in seclusion without material concerns, seclusion is considered as a significant and valuable stag. For some people reached this stage, material life loses its importance together with the concerns on wealth and exhausted life style. In addition, showing efforts under the influence of material aims would not be meaningful. Arthur Schopenhauer once mentioned the following words in his work titled “ Reading, writing and living”:

“ A hairy man from suffering anda buse before anything else(external annoyance) to strive fort o be  free, silence and time out, so that minimum number of un expected and residents with dangerous encounter possible, they will look for a modest life and thus promise very little in common with fellow after sharing the experience cloister valve it will prefer a life , even if it has a great soul, altogether will choose solitude.

Because a human being no matter how much by itself enough , other people will be less need fort hat much; other people per se  will be able to tolerate him so little . A higher mind is why being able to push out a human society level. It is true, if it edile bils compensated quantitative natüre of the mind, these people did not even live in the word of value to great paints; but fortunately a hundred wise men can not fool come together in one.

But standing at the other and of the spectrum gets rid of the need for break through pain does not get rid of, although it’s worth a lot of fun and efforts to interfere in the community, met fort he first anyone would love to meet, and in itself it becomes something that’s rather try to avoid. Because everyone is left in solitude faced with their qualifications, interests that have nothing to light a man’s self; I’m in all the groans under the burden of the people in abject fool of sequined attire, which is never a burden on assignment ; where as the eyes to talented people refreshing secluded places thoughts. “

Seneca , reports that the folly of their own burden: “ a fool’s life is worse than death”

“Therefore, as a rule, a person may be involved in community care and mental miserable to the extent that the  overall volgar. On the one hand because in this world of loneliness choice of a person, on the other hand, it does not go much beyond platitudes.

Check the time, so when you have to realize freedom of the human personality or individuality is ulually composed of fruit or product of effort and only the remaining part of life. But what appears most people’s spare time? Boredom and stupidity, no doubt the flesh of the folly of the pursuit of exceptional circumstances or time . What such a tiny range of leisure as seen in the precious hours of his disappearance and arbitrary style or empty ignorant people , as pointed out how Ariosto pitiful! Ordinary people only think how they spend their time; A have any ability  to be busy people how to use the time . Limited human mind with boredom conveyor will cause the minds of not are, not prone to use for anything other than mobilizing the power. And when there is something special that had the will to act , it takes the form of inertia and minds would resort because as he will need to put something external to the scene. The result is that a man has power, whatever it is, it’s a terible recession , simply bpredom is.

Just as no cauntry just a few items of imports in need or no need to hear that a cauntry so prosperous, if not the most happy is the man that is suffivient to wealth within himself and outside either too little or human . Nothing  that do not need to sustain it’s existence. Because the imported goods are expensive things, they reveal the abuse , they give rise to the danger,they give rise to hardship anda re a miserable residence for domestic production short of the promse. No one from the others , or generally speaking , should not be in too much expectations from the outside World. For another thing to express a person is not so great; The only thing remaining is that everyone who eventually remain alone ad important.”

Just like Arthur Schopenhauer tried to point out, self-sufficiency is an important matter for a person during lonely times. If this person follows self-sufficiency without any further problem in internal world, then the stated person would require less for the assistance of others. If a person avoids love with lack of spirituality and prefers seclusion, then the stated person should be appreciated. It seems that some people escape from the community in order to initiate a spiritual journey. This refers to a high level of spiritual or intellectual power and the fair judgment skills.

To sum up, we shall state that everyone is alone whereas everyone will definitely taste the potion of eternal loneliness in this world or in the other world as we approach from an objective point of view and interprete the current conditions on a fair basis. Here, the character of a lonely person and the reason of this loneliness are important. Has this person preferred loneliness or have others brought such loneliness?

Some people deal with lonely moments easily and eliminate loneliness in their minds while others consider loneliness as a dark well or an endless nightmare. In this sense, H. Ibsen said: “The loneliest man is the most powerful man”. Goethe added: “Loneliness is just a word. To pronounce it is so easy but to bear it is so difficult”.

If a person follows self-sufficiency in all aspects of life and survive without the need for the assistance of others, then loneliness would not be terrifying for such person. If a person feels strong in emotional sense, there would be no problem in terms of maintaining the daily life. In case a person stays at home like I do following a certain stage and implement various important concepts such as emotional and intellectual unity in accordance with common purposes, comprehensions, dreams approaches and actions in addition to the unity in love and friendship during hard times and the messages for a bright future, or in case a person takes certain spriritual decisions with reference to the humanitarian values, it means this person has found real happiness and peace.

For the ones thinking and caring about humanitarian values, a lonely life style would not be a terrible issue. We should remember that God is also alone for billions of years. God felt uncomfortable about this condition and created human beings as a masterpiece although He failed to show the right way to humanity. Regardless that He sent numerous prophets and messengers or He created many disasters to raise awareness among human beings, He failed to manage to ensure us to do the right thing. Nevertheless, God never ceased the relationship between the mankind and the Satan. Since the human beings maintain the capability of thinking, they always ask for more by promoting materialism instead of spirituality. In other words, the people consider materialism as the primary source of happiness and many people believe that real happiness would be achieved by increasing the wealth.

In the mystical approach by Mevlana Jalaluddin-i Rumi, the Sultan of hearts, the main virtues are compassion, respect and fellowship whereas the human beings are created in a physical body on one side and a spiritual side on the other. Four elements corresponding to earth, wind, fire and water form the human body. In this point, love is the sole power bringing the stated elements together and providing a meaning. The human body disperses as a result of mortality. Alternatively, the human body looses the protective elements whereas the soul is just a guest on this physical body and it will definitely return to its roots after death. The soul becomes immortal only if it returns to a divine source.

In this systematic approach, the human body resembles an imprisonment stage for the soul. The soul never becomes free as it remains within the body. Thus, the soul always intends to return to a divine source. This way of searching for the essentials of human soul is named as love and the holy power is called infinite loyalty.

When the soul imprisoned in the human body becomes immortal, the people feel an immortal element in their internal worlds. The soul gives vitality to the human body together with the ability to think, perceive and judge. According to this approach, the real world exists somewhere beyond this earth we experience. In other worlds, the world we currently see is just a reflection.

For the mystical view of Mevlana Jalaluddin-i Rumi, the Sultan of the hearts, the endless search for a divine search is essential. Because love always unites in connection with the human soul. The human beings are divine creatures placing love at the very center of their lives. They would only survive by means of love. They also reach an internal peace by means of love. Love exists in every single piece or touch in people’s lives as a divine power and love support the order of universe connected through compassion just like the moon falling in love with earth, the earth in love with the sun, the sun in love with fire, the butterfly in love with flowers and the soul in love with a divine entity.

Early Anatolian-Greek philosophical approach is the starting point of divine love forming the core of numerous belief systems. The founder of this divine oriented philosophy is Empedokles whereas Anatolian-Greek wisemen are regarded as the founders of four elements named earth, wind, fire and water. The wind is the primary element of Anaksimenes while water is the primary element of Thayes, fire is the primary element of Herakleitos and soil is the primary element of Empedokles. This approach led to the unification in four basic elements by keeping hate away from the soul. In this sense, all visible creatures maintain a soul in accordance with the philosophical approaches of Platon and Aristotle.

The love that we encountered in Mawlana’s approach also exists in other creatures. However, other creatures are unconscious as they fail to make expressions. The ability of thinking made us to search for purposes continuously. As a result of this infinite search, we only reached love as conclusion since it refers to an eternal happiness and internal peace. Learning, searching, obtaining information, questioning, judging and sharing are all included in love together with friendship and devotion to moral values, social norms and family values by means of standing against evil, injustice and conflicts as well as preserving nature, cooperating in sad times, standing united for a bright future and building a better world under a colorful rainbow. 

By means of Shoreditch Park Stories filled with plenty of secrets, the people would feel love, peace, fraternity and friendship even more. By this way, the people would hold on the traditions or moral values that they have forgotten. Subsequently, they would stand against natural disasters, animal massacres, conflicts, dark scenarios, globalization issues, global hegemony, robberies, unfair conditions and illegal acts since there is no way out and there is no alternative to this world.

I, Veysel Baba from Dersim, lock myself at home with a great loneliness and start to live in seclusion after I complete the Shoreditch Park Stories filled with many secrets and give messages to the decent people. As an exhausted man inviting the people to peace, fraternity, love and friendship giving all the messages, I would like to remain silent.

In this point, I will continue going out once a week to keep my promise to Silent Foot by visiting Princess Goze for training purposes. She is a precious gift from my dear friend Silent Foot. I will visit the farm house located outside London once in a month to tell the beautiful stories to my fox friends there.

When the expected day comes, our kind friend Veysel Baba had a dream during his sleep. In this dream, Princess Batavine asked him to wake up immediately and activate the sandglass that she gave in the second hand market. Our exhausted Veysel Baba woke up immediately and went towards the back door to find the sandglass. Although our Veysel Baba did not know what could be done with this sandglass, his concerns were pointing out a connection between the sandglass and his beloved friend Silent Foot. It seemed like his beloved friend Silent Foot gets closer to death as the sand particles fall. An era would be over by the fall of last sand particle and the time to say goodbye to his dearest friend for her eternal journey. In this image, Silent Foot was waving her hand above the clouds. Then, she started walking towards a heavenly place covered with flowers. It was like a dream world. Veysel Baba’s exhausted heart was about to stop against this joyful moment or due to this sad farewell. However, his work was unfinished. After wiping his tears, he said: “Goodbye Silent Foot, goodbye my dear friend. May God speed you. I will never forget you. All my love is with you”. The man went to his bed and recalled good old days with his beloved friend Silent Foot while he felt very sad. It was like a fairy tale starting with the expression “once upon a time”. Once upon a time, there was a talking fox named Silent Foot and an exhausted man named Veysel Baba who lived in peace.. With love and with regards-Veysel Baba from London.

Life was meaningless and insignificant for Veysel Baba woken up a new day without awareness of a naughty squirrel’s visit last night. He felt deep sorrow as he could not see his beloved friend Silent Foot again. Desired to spend final moments with her cute daughter Goze as well as to train her for a new duty in the best way, Silent Foot also preferred staying at her two centuries old shelter located at the bottom of famous St John Hoxton Church.

Veysel Baba felt that he somehow caused all these incidents. He felt guilty and sinful as if he has betrayed a good friend. Thus, he locked himself at home because he went beyond sharing secrets by forcing the precise limits determined previously. If he didn’t insist on the answers regarding Holy Ark and he didn’t force his beloved friend Silent Foot with similar questions, then his dear friend wouldn’t say farewell in such a sad manner. It was happening again. He was slowly turning back to the days of deep silence. The days with lots of worries, sorrows and tears were back again. Those days have knocked Veysel Baba’s door.

This time, the surprising visitor knocked the door of his palace of love has prepared a great surprise for Veysel Baba by entering home from the balcony instead of the front door. Veysel Baba was clearly not expecting a surprising visitor. Although he had doubts occasionally, he could not yet realize that a smart squirrel has somehow entered his home and stole the walnuts on a table. Placed on a plate to be served for guests, the walnuts have started to disappear one by one. Since there was no visitor around, how could the walnuts disappear? Who was eating them?

Veysel Baba never believed in genies or invisible creatures until this time. However, he started to believe in certain supernatural powers or creatures. One day, he saw an image reflecting a creature. But, he thought this was a part of his recent dream and his sleepy mood was the reason for what he saw. In another day, he cooked rice with many spices, walnuts and currants. Following his meal of delicious rice, he went back to sleep by putting the remainings in the refrigerator and leaving the door open. Veysel Baba usually feels preoccupied due to his medications. As he wakes up in the mornings, he starts the day with a cup of tea. In a day he stepped in the kitchen, he saw that rice grains were dispersed all around the kitchen. He was unable to understand the reason. Who would sneak to his home and make rice grains dispersed all around the kitchen while he was sleeping the back room? Why could this even happen since he was not a night-walker? How could it be explained?

The exhausted man thought about this interesting incident in the kitchen for several days. But, he couldn’t reach a reasonable explanation. He believed this incident should have been related to his old age. In the previous day, somebody visited his home to check the gas system. In this moment, Veysel Baba discovered hazelnut pieces in the rear side of the cupboard. This turned the issue to a more interesting way. Consequently, the landlord was concerned to find a logical explanation. He travelled to his childhood and recalled the naughty squirrels in the little mountain village. Those squirrels used to collect walnuts and valonias. Then, they hide in safe and secret areas in the trees. He has also watched similar cases in some documentaries. In this very moment, he realized that a squirrel should have been the sole reason. He left a few hazelnuts in the balcony and went back to sleep in a peaceful mood. As he woke up in the next morning, he first checked the hazelnuts in the balcony. When he woke up in the morning the first thing he did was to go to check the hazelnuts that were in the balcony. He realized that the hazelnuts were gone. So, he reached a conclusion that the main reason was absolutely a squirrel.

Veysel Baba was sure that an uninvited guest has entered his home and stolen walnuts, candies and chocolates for a couple of weeks. It seemed like a brand new mystery were about to happen whereas some mysterious powers have intended to revive his soul by introducing a new friend. Under the influence of such ideas, our Veysel Baba decided to do his best in order to host this new guest and establish a friendship. He went to the grocery store immediately and bought a kilo of monkey nuts, walnuts, candies and chocolates. If he could show his hospitality for this uninvited guest and leave the balcony door open all night long, then the squirrel would get to know the house.

In a short while, a new friendship emerged between our Veysel Baba and the visitor Pancho Mancho. However, Veysel Baba couldn’t guess this new friend was able to speak and he was assigned by Lord Parapanu to revive his soul. As the naughty squirrel started talking like a person and explained all the incidents in detail, our man of loneliness Veysel Baba shed tears of happiness. Because nobody has knocked his door to ask what he was doing for all those weeks and why he locked himself at home under the influence of guilty feelings. Nevertheless, Lord Parapanu and his kind wife Batavine did not forget Veysel Baba. They found a talented squirrel from Yucatan Region of Mexico and brought him to give a fresh breath for his desparate life.

Locked himself at home and avoided visiting the mysterious Shoreditch Park for a couple of weeks, Veysel Baba was really happy to feel internal love again by means of his new friend named Pancho Mancho. He was going to wake up early in the mornings in order to serve delicious breakfasts for his new friend with fresh water, monkey nuts, hazelnuts and walnuts. He was going to wait for the arrival of his new friend every morning.

By waiting for his new friend, Veysel Baba was thinking deeply about the humanity’s negative impact on nature and animals. As he shared his ideas on this new friendship, he made a different analysis on recent incidents whereas he was trying to find a solution with personal efforts. Probably due to our selfish acts and egocentric approaches, this beautiful nature together with its inhabitants have been involved in a struggle for survival. The damages on nature given by humanity in order to find a shortcut for prosperity and wealth have finally turned to a massacre. Our beautiful world providing a shelter for us and the beautiful nature presenting a joyful life to all creatures were about to dissolve. Yet, our bright and hopeful future was about to be captured by greedy ones.

Dear friends, at this last stage, the beautiful world standing as our home waits a magical touch by screaming that: “We still have time. I am still alive. I did not give up yet. I did not give my last breathe, but I may give it any time. Maybe, I am standing at the point of no return. If you fail to hear my heartbeats now and consider my words as a warning or if you don’t wipe my endless tears by standing against cruel and greedy ones, or if you don’t show great effort, then my final moments would be really close and your future would be in danger”. By those words, the world tries to warn us through certain messages and signs.

Why this world becoming a warm home for us should avoid giving such messages? Didn’t we cause global warming, climate change, environmental pollution, natural disasters, animal massacres, poverties, murders, racial discriminations, divergences and disaster scenarios? And didn’t we ignore all negative impacts in our surrounding?

Regardless of negative impacts and disaster scenarios, as the decent people caring nature and animals with dreams on a bright future, we should unite to make our dreams come true and form a chain of love surrounding the entire world. We could even create a rainbow. So the natural disasters, poverty, alienation, inequality, unfairness, illegal actions, greed, globalization scenarios and heresies may come to an end with our efforts.

By our magical touch, we should bring back decent ethical, spiritual and humanitarian values that please us significantly. Because there is no other way, nor an option like an alternative world.

With the purpose to attract people’s attention to dark scenarious threatening our beautiful world, I began writing such a meaningful story with many important messages. Although my pen is not strong as I fail to reflect my views on paper, I wanted to share my ideas with decent people like you. In a way, it has become a necessity for me to ensure my critical messages to be heard. All of us have personal believes and perceptions on this world and the incidents surrounding us. Some choose different paths in following the merciful heart and the ocean of love whereas others prefer to chase for a tearful heart.

As Veysel Baba from Dersim, I also wanted to express what I feel in my writings and I desired to share this meaningful and deep work with you, the decent readers. Because our bright future is in trouble since the global actors have already begun to capture our tomorrows. As they insist on implementing such dark scenarious filled with pain, blood and tears, some people stay silent or ignore what is going on. Some of us never care or turn back to our bright future with the focus only on daily lives. Some dreams for wealth by creating fake heavens and comitting sins whereas some forget the day of judgment that we would face after death. Some people ignore the infernal life required to be questioned while others seem to ignore to take lessons from pains and tears. Some people also ignore our common fate, unity, emotional connection, compassion, common values, shared ideas, cooperation and sharing whereas others disregard the importance of neighborhood, helping old people, bringing flowers to the sick people, assisting the disabled ones, presenting a box of chocolates to the orphans, telling stories to cute kids, playing games, flying kites, going swimming, dreaming together with the kids, recalling childhood memories and school days. Some people forget the first time they fall in love as well as the school memories, qualified teachers, youth ages and the days spent under rain while others ignore such emotional moments of walking over the streets like wanderers and the tears falling from our eyes as lovers. Some people fail to start dreaming, loving or writing poems. Others ignore spirituality by stating that “let the sleeping dogs lie” while some ignore ethical values by telling that: “Is it just me to save the entire world ?”. Some people retreat due to the feeling of worthless whereas others prefer to live in an ordinary manner as emotionless machines. Some act in accordance with the interests of others and some commit crimes on behalf of others.

Some people spend their lives for the benefit of others and make them to reach higher ranks whereas some believe what is given would be sufficient and avoid asking for more. Some people fail to realize their rights. It seems like some of us believe that it would be an illegal act to chase for the things we really deserve. Some of us fail to reveal our talents by avoiding following our rebellious or humanitarian side while others stand as the slaves of satanic desires and make imaginary castles surrounded by many sins whereas others feel proud by the number of sins and prefer hostility rather than compassion. Some people chase fake happiness through constructing palaces or skyscrapers with the purpose to fulfill our endless material desires. On the other hand, some people feel safe at the top floor of great skyscrapers and ignore the reason of this test called life whereas some ignore the importance of other world by neglecting the idea that we are being followed by certain mystical powers. With love and regards, Veysel Baba from Dersim...
