June 14, 2016 Konya • Overland to Cappadocia • Optional Whirling Dervishes tour
|
After breakfast, we'll head north to Cappadocia via the Konya Plain, crossing through open farmland and enjoying lunch en route. We'll also
get acquainted with pottery-making—a 9,000-year-old Anatolian tradition—as we stop by a pottery workshop and enjoy a discussion of this
ancient craft.
This afternoon we'll check into our hotel in Cappadocia, with free time to explore the surrounding area before we regroup for dinner.
Afterward, perhaps you'll join our optional Whirling Dervishes tour to witness the "Ritual of Sema." The Semazens, also called "Whirling
Dervishes," believe that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. From the smallest cell to the planets and the farthest stars,
everything takes part in this revolving. Thus, the ones who whirl participate consciously in the shared revolution of all existence. As they
whirl, their motions represent a spiritual journey. We'll observe this mystical ritual, then cap our experience with a glass of sweet Turkish
sherbet.

=== Whirling Dervishes ===
|
On this tour, witness the “Ritual of Sema.” The Semazens, the so-called Whirling Dervishes,
believe that the fundamental condition of our existence is to revolve. From the smallest cell to the planets
and the farthest stars, everything takes part in this revolving.
Thus, the ones who whirl participate consciously in the shared revolution of all existence.
As the Semazen (with their camel's-felt hats representing tombstones and wide white skirts symbolizing shrouds) whirl,
their motions represent a spiritual journey. We cap our experience with a glass of sweet Turkish sherbet.

舞蹈表演開始，

這個表演的舞場燈光很暗，舞者不停的轉圈圈，
轉，轉，轉，.........
我看到有三個觀眾睡著了，
有一個還極力的在撐著，我想大概是旅遊太累了，
我太太，聿罇，也睡著了，頭倒在我肩上，
