I want to write, but feelings...

.
I want to write a lot of things, but I can't write and also talk easily about feelings and thoughts.

Because, life is a duration, and I continuously reconsider all happens. When I talk or write, I break the duration, and evaluate at this moment, but normally that duration is going on. So, the feelings and thoughts that writing and talking are not overlapping exactly, and all of them are getting half. Therefore, mostly I prefer to keep quite.

In additon, in my opinion, when feelings are written or talked, they are not feelings anymore, words are deliminateting, decreasing meanings of them.

Maybe the answer of these two paragraph. Some people use their brains, some people use their hearths as me. Which one is valid, I don't know, but I know one thing this is my advantage to say " I lived".

Altogether, feeling is a beautiful thing and meaning of life.

One of The Turkish Folk Dance; Zeybek...

First of all, Hi friends.

It is my fist blog, and I thought writing in English, not only English practice, but also maybe, my writings reach to more people all over the world.

In addition, I'm so sorry for gramatical errors and meaningless sentences.

My first topic is about Zeybek because I like very much to dance Zeybek and wonder the Zeybek Culture.

What is Zeybek?
Turkey has alot of kinds of folk dance, and each of them is very different from other. If we think Turkey as section and section. Karadeniz, Kirklareli, Silifke, Halay, Roman, Asuk-Masuk, Kafkas, Misket and Zeybek that only I know.

Zeybek is intrinsic to the west of Turkey, Izmir, Aydin, Kutahya, Mugla, Denizli and closer cities in the west.

The most distinctive properties of Zeybek is a very slow dance, so its rhythm very clear. For this reason, the attitude comes into prominence.The behaviours are very sharp, flashily and well settled. In below, I will explain with some photos, musics and videos. But before, I must tell the history of Zeybek Culture and Efe.

Shortly, in period of First World War and before, people lived in West Anatolia are against in groups and won big successes with a few men or as a man. After succesful people or dramatic events, other people created folk songs and dances, for eample, Zeybek of Kerimoglu, Yorukali, Kadioglu e.t.c. Besides, all of these people are being collected under name of Efe, each man has a name with Efe like as Yorukali Efe. Efe means a kind of hector and said for brave, honored, responsible and patriot people.

Costumes and some attitudes;

Generally, Zeybek is danced in circle together, but sometimes separately.
