<p><span>She came to Planet Earth on 24 December 1986 at Cappadocia. Where has been shaped by lava..But the world was a little strange at that time. Expectations of people in society, were more important than one’s own wishes. At the beginning she was just a shy child.That’s why she just tried to follow up the system. Then the tasks of the system started to follow her…</span></p> <p><strong><span><span>First mission : Grow up little baby and learn our ethics…</span></span></strong></p> <p><span>She tried, but she was always too shy to be connected with people. Maybe she couldn’t understand the ethics easyly…</span></p> <p><strong><span><span>Second mission : Continue to grow up and  go to school kids…</span></span></strong></p> <p><span>She went to school as a normal child and she did very well untill university! Because she has grown enough to think about who i am and what i want? </span></p> <div> </div> <div><em><span>“Who am i and what i do want?</span></em></div> <p><em><span>-I like to create something by my hand…</span></em></p> <p><em><span>-I like to design by my mind…</span></em></p> <p><em><span>-I like to catch the beauties for every part of life…</span></em></p> <p><em><span>-I like quantitative sciences and geometry”</span></em></p> <div><span>               </span></div> <div> <div><span>           </span><span>Then she decided to study architecture. She thought that she can be happy at this department. But she was still in the same system. That’s why she couldn’t be happy and she couldn’t find herself at that situation…</span></div> <div> <div><span>       </span>   Therefore she escaped!! To the mountains!! She began to climb to the rocks. She was so happy, peaceful and relax with nature… In this way she began to improve her connection with nature!</div> <div>           Everything was perfect like this. But after a while the mission of system started to disturb her lifestyle. She lost her way, she started to ask herself:</div> <div> </div> <div><em><span>“What am i d</span></em><em><span>oing?</span></em></div> <p><em><span>-I am just running away from system! That is not a solution!</span></em><br /><em><span>-I have to stop it!</span></em><br /><em><span>-Okay!I have to finish my study and then i can decide more healthy!”</span></em></p> <p><strong><span><span>Third mission : Complete your education!</span></span></strong></p> <p><span>And for the first time she accepted the mission by herself. Then she finished her study in two years. And at the end of her studying she heard something about  “Natural Architecture, Straw-bale Houses, Green Buildings, Earth houses…” She was so exited to learn more about this building type. Suddenly she saw a workshop which is about ‘Ecological and Natural Architecture’  which has been organized by Filiz Telek. It was the most amazing, exiting, joyful event ever, first natural building workshop in Turkey, with brilliant Penny Livingston and Janell Kapoor!  And she found lots of answer  for discover herself more and more… </span></p> <div><span> </span> <span>She found her way! And she got a message from mother earth;</span></div> <div> <div> <p><em><span>“First whispering from Mother Earth : Help me! </span></em><br /><em><span>Dear Merve</span></em><br /><em><span>I need your help to change the system to save all of us.</span></em><br /><em><span>Now you know how to do it. </span></em><br /><em><span>You know how to start revolution.</span></em><br /><em><span>You have some ability to do this as everyone. </span></em></p> <p><em><span>Just dream it and believe it.. “</span></em></p> </div> <p><span>      After first whispering of Mother Earth, system stopped to give mission to her. She felt that she jumped to another parallel universe! And she was so happy at that universe. She met lots of people like her who already started to make war with their special weapon to save the Mother Earth. She haven’t been hopeful as much as like that before. It was like a dream for her. She believed one more time that ‘dreams are coming true if you believe…’ </span><br /><span>After this workshop she joined an other natural building workshop as an assistant. That workshop was especially for architecture students at Karakayalar-Eskisehir\Turkey which was organized by Anadolu Univers</span><span> </span></p> <p>  Then she joined a leadership program which is named “<a href="http://www.anadolujam.com/" target="_blank">Anadolu Jam</a>”. It was organized and hosted by brilliant Shilpa Jain, Filiz Telek and AyÅŸegül Güzel in cooperation with YES. It was a big meeting with soul sisters and brothers and glorious wisdoms.</p> <p><span>And now….Merve asked herself again;   </span></p> <div><em><span>“What do you want to do now?</span></em></div> <div><em><span> </span></em></div> <div><em><span>-I know what i want to do, </span></em></div> <div><em><span> -I know what is my weapon,</span></em></div> <div><em><span>-I need to learn more about my weapon,</span></em></div> <div><em><span> -I need to learn how to use it,</span></em></div> <div><em><span> -I am looking for places where i can get the big knowlegde,</span></em></div> <div><em><span> -I need to know more…”</span></em></div> </div> </div> </div>
