Elif Shafak. Architect's apprentice (№ 418804)

Stones are reflected in the water. The image of God is reflected in people. Love is reflected in broken hearts. The truth is reflected in the stories that people tell each other. We all live, work and die under one invisible dome: rich and poor, Muslims and Christians, men and women, slaves and free people, sultans and drovers, teachers and disciples... Under this dome, we are all equal. Under it, any differences disappear, and all sounds, regardless of whether they express sadness or joy, drown in the silence of all-consuming love. This is how I imagine the Universe.
