Life goes by. We leave many people and places behind. Good and bad memories as well as forgotten friendships...

Good morning! #plebchain #nostr #coffeechain
And happy Eid al-Fitr. Don't eat too many sweets. 🍬
While in Dikili on Sunday, I visited the Dikili City Archive and Information Center. Among many interesting things, one carpet style particularly caught my attention. I translated the introductory text in the photo as best I could, leaving only the name of the carpet style in Turkish on purpose. Although the word köşeli has a meaning like angular, I didn't want to translate it into English in this context.
Köşeli Carpet
These carpets are known as "köşeli carpets" because of the motifs embroidered prominently on the corners. Köşeli carpets are carpets created by women developing different patterns after a quarrel and separation in nomadic life.
The motifs in the corners of the carpet converge in the middle, in other words, in the center. This symbolically expresses that although the nomadic tribes have settled in different areas, the unity between them continues and they are as one.
Köşeli carpets are laid in the most beautiful and favorite areas of the houses. The smaller ones are used as divan (sofa) carpets.
Root dye is used in these carpets, which are usually woven for girls' dowries.
As with almost all carpets, köşeli carpets have many symbolic meanings. The knife-like motifs found on these carpets indicate that agriculture was practiced after the transition from nomadic life to settlement. The predominance of the color red in the background of the carpets symbolizes the fighting and bloodshed. The motifs on the outer frame called "beads" are believed to protect from the evil eye. In such carpets, a flower motif is embroidered as a whole in a large frame.
Köşeli carpets are intensively woven in the neighborhoods of Samanlık, Kocaoba, Mazılı, Kıroba, Çağlan and Yeni in Dikili.

I can't see my server in the vps panel. Our website is inaccessible. Guess what I don't have? That's right, a backup...
Fingers crossed, waiting for a response to my ticket.

After a long break, I started keeping a diary again. In my last entry before the break, I wrote that I didn't think I would experience any more events that I would want to remember the date they happened. It was a very depressing time. It still are, though. I can't say that my opinion in the sentence I wrote has changed, but maybe keeping a diary will help me relax and overcome events and emotions.
Good evening #plebchain #nostr
This is my mood tonight. 🎹🎶

Wow, Nostr continues to surprise me. Without realizing it, I zapped my own note and liked it twice. 😂
