Status Updates From The Architect's Apprentice

"I think about Istanbul every day. People must be walking now across the courtyards of the mosques, not knowing, not seeing. They would rather assume that the buildings around them had been there since the time of Noah. They were not. We raised them: Muslims and Christians, craftsmen and galley slaves, humans and animals, day upon day"

"to ease the guilt of having forgotten their faces. Yet I remember the promises we made, and then failed to keep, every single one of them. It’s odd how faces, solid and visible as they are, evaporate, while words, made of breath, stay" HOLD UP BRO😨‼️ DO NOT DO ME THIS WAY (walk away) 🚶🏻‍♀️‼️

"I wish I could look back and say that I have learned to love as much as I loved to learn", wow...
