An Unknown Path

The Boatman is usually quiet and calm. But even he needs a break! Today he stepped away to buy some rakı—Türkiye’s national drink, if you will. A clown grabbed the oars. To a clown, the world is never restful—it’s full of color, movement, and laughter. When you drop a pebble of joy into a still lake, what happens? It creates ripples that spread outward. That’s what those concentric circles are. They’re not abstract geometric shapes; they are the ripples of the clown’s energy expanding across the water. The Boatman keeps the sea calm, but the clown makes the universe vibrate in circles.
