In the middle of the ruins where sunlight poured in,
Between the towering stone pillars and elaborate sculptures,
Thousands of years of time were quietly flowing.
Celsus Library.
Even though it was a space where books disappeared,
It still felt like a place full of wisdom and stories.
With every step I took on the floor, I felt like I was walking through the time of ancient Rome.
Just looking at it made my heart feel organized. πποΈ
The feeling of being collapsed but not destroyed,
Erased but still remaining.
A day when I was strangely subdued by the hands and history embedded in each stone.
The power of old things,
The Celsus Library was a book in itself.
A house of stories that silently embraced me. πΏποΈ
