From The City and Its Uncertain Walls, by Haruki Murakami:

"Rumi’s words take flight,
In the Mevlana’s calm halls,
A soul’s journey ends."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Mevlana Museum in Konya, Turkey. Originally it was the dervish lodge of the Mevlevi order, better known as the whirling dervishes. It houses the mausoleum of Jalal ad-Din Rumi, a Persian Sufi mystic who founded the order. He died in 1231.

"Old walls hold the tales
Of journeys made long ago
Along the Silk Road."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from a caravanserai halfway between Cappadocia and Konya in central Turkey. A caravanserai is an ancient roadside inn where travelers (caravaners) could rest and recover from the day's journey. This particular one has been restored and serves as a museum.
