seljuk

Something poetic about this Seljuk cemetery,
as if warriors were buried where they fell, defending where
they'd staked their claim. They were nomads from central Asia
who came to this land & discovered the wish to settle.
Rumi was from that line.

Some larger tombs are nearby. The design right was
explained as resembling tent pegs, used so they would
remember their roots.. "so they say".
Quite a few of the historic details, everywhere, are
subjective at least, don't you think?

Have been attending some of John de Ruiter's meetings
over last few days, we are lucky that different teachers
come to Byron Bay.
