Sufism is about having interest in the view of (seeing Allah) from the top of Jannah, more than the Bosphorous view from the top of Swiss Hotel...<o:p></o:p>

وجوه يومئذ ناضرة إلى ربها ناظرة<o:p></o:p>

We use Bosphorous view from the top as bridge reminder to the later Jannah and the beatific divine vision ... It feels good specially late afternoon when the natural cooling breeze of the sea in your face is cooling you off after a long hot day ...
Now we moved down to Cafe Ten in Machka Park facing the old ottoman military academy.  No humidity. Just a gentle wind carrying the scent of ancient ottoman trees whispering their long kept secrets concerning the glory of the Ottomans.
Eh magic wind of change ... Reenact the glory of the past and rekindle the hope for the better future ...
