مع جريدة

أخرج من معطفه الجريده..

وعلبة الثقاب

ودون أن يلاحظ اضطرابي..

ودونما اهتمام

تناول السكر من أمامي..

ذوب في الفنجان قطعتين

ذوبني.. ذوب قطعتين

وبعد لحظتين

ودون أن يراني

ويعرف الشوق الذي اعتراني..

تناول المعطف من أمامي

وغاب في الزحام

مخلفاً وراءه.. الجريده

وحيدةً

مثلي أنا.. وحيده


رائعة من الروائع
واحدة من القصائد القليلة التي تعجبني من شعر قباني

Earth Hour

Dear Me...Dear Blog Reader,

Answering a question that many has asked before, 'how can we inspire people to take action on climate change?', turn off your light for one hour!

On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour.

Earth Hour 2007 was a Sydney event. Earth Hour 2008 is a global movement.

At 8pm on the 29 March 2008 millions of people in some of the world's biggest cities including Copenhagen, Toronto, Chicago, Melbourne, Brisbane, Tel Aviv and Manila will unite and switch off for Earth Hour.



think this is something MORE people need to listen and read! We CAN make a difference, it is all about educating our peers and our families! I am totally down for this cause!

Please link the video and spread the news in any mean you can. Hope to see your lights all turned off on 28-03-09 at 8:30 pm in your local time.

Happy Earth Hour ;)

A Touch Of Mom

I wanted to post something on the occasion of Mother's Day but got so busy, so here we go...I don't think that anyone on the face of earth shall be able to put it in a better and more descriptive way that the famous ceased Palestinian poet, Mahmoud Darwish in one of his greatest poems "Mother":

I long for my mother's bread
My mother's coffee
Her touch
Childhood memories grow up in me
Day after day
I must be worth my life
At the hour of my death
Worth the tears of my mother.

And if I come back one day
Take me as a veil to your eyelashes
Cover my bones with the grass
Blessed by your footsteps
Bind us together
With a lock of your hair
With a thread that trails from the back of your dress
I might become immortal
Become a God
If I touch the depths of your heart.

If I come back
Use me as wood to feed your fire
As the clothesline on the roof of your house
Without your blessing
I am too weak to stand.

I am old
Give me back the star maps of childhood
So that I
Along with the swallows
Can chart the path
Back to your waiting nest.

Mahmoud Darwish
أحن .. الى خبز أمي
وقهوة أمي
ولمسة أمي ..
و تكبر في الطفولة
يوماً على صدر أمي
وأعشق عمري لأني
اذا مت
أخجل من دمع أمي !
خذيني ، اذا عدت يوماً
وشاحاً لهديك
وغطي عظامي بعشب
تعمد من طهر كعبك
وشدي وثاقي ..
بخصلة شعر ..
بخيط يلوح في ذيل ثوبك ..
ضعيني ، اذا ما رجعت
وقوداً بتنور نارك
وحبل غسيل على سطح دارك
لأني فقدت الوقوف
بدون صلاة نهارك
هرمت ، فردي مجوم الطفولة
حتى أشارك
صغار العصافير
درب الرجوع ..
لعش انتظارك .. !
محمود درويش

Sha5abee6 in my head!

Dear me,

I found this picture while I was stumbling, and I thought of two simple ways to describe it. ^_^

1. This is Faith's brain. It is filled with many tangled wires all over the place, has different colors, and no one can figure out the beginning from the end xD!

Does this look like your brain, dear reader? Or just a bad server room and the guy in the picture is pretending to care about how to fix it?

2. This is the world. Complicated, yet all can be fixed.

How can you describe this picture?

Yours,

Me!

What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger..

After they complained that my blog was dying it was time to get down to some serious writing.. ^_^

I remember the last few weeks, all what I went through in life and work.
Many things keep on happening to us that are proving to us day by day that despite the big number of failures, we will win at the end in a way or another..

Failure is good. I can't win every day. I probably haven't won in a long time. That's what makes every little success in life so amazingly special. That also why I revel in the company of those who I love; even if they aren't around me. Sometimes hearing a long distance voice is enough to lift the most depressed spirits. Success is relative..

I fell down many times, did many mistakes, tore out, and in the end I learned from them...I treasure the sense of achievement afterward notwithstanding the pain in my soul and mind..

What doesn't kill you, will ONLY make you STRONGER & STRONGER ;)

Last word,

~I think I need a new town,
to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise,
I'm tired of the sunset...
Where no one knows my name...~
