THE PICTURE OF HAPPINESS

 

 

 

 

 


 

Can you draw the picture of “happiness”, Abidin?

Without taking the easy way out of it ?

Not the picture of angel- faced mum breastfeeding her rose- cheeked baby

And nor picture of  the apples on the white cloth

Nor the picture of red fish going around between water bubbles in the aquarium

Can you draw the picture of “happiness” Abidin?

Can you draw the picture of Cuba in the 1961 midsummer?

Can you draw the picture of 

“Thank God, i have lived today too. No matter if i die “, the Master?
