Gedankenverloren,...

Ich träume vom Morgen und lasse das jetzt sein. Lasse es einfach sein, lasse die Ohnmacht zu, träumte von der Zukunft. Immer von der Zukunft. Bald, bald würde es anders sein, es würde anders werden, und irgendwann, Irgendwann würde da Schönheit sein, in mir, und jemand würde es sehen, die Leute würden es erkennen, an mir, letztendlich. Vielleicht gefiel es mir ganz gut darin, in dieser Verpuppung, in der ich der Welt noch für ein paar Jahre entgehen konnte, ich konnte mich ihr absprechen, fernhalten; denn das war noch nicht ich. Das war ich nicht. Ich würde anders sein. Größer, schöner, und so sicher. Sicher in mir selbst. Und dann wurde es besser, die Haut, die Haare, vielleicht die Einstellung; ein bisschen getanzt und gelacht und in die Welt eingefühlt. Eingefügt. Aber nicht wirklich, immer steckt noch ein bisschen diese Angst in mir, bin ich wirklich bereit? Ist es das jetzt? Woran erkenne ich, dass es begonnen hat, das wirkliche Leben? Und nie war es vollkommen, immer fehl...

Dreams and Obsessions

Some people sometimes want things that in the end won’t truly help them. Life is strange: the happier people can be, the unhappier they are. I have some friends that think they exist because they have “problems” to solve. Without “problems” they are nobody. The Universe is merely an echo of our desires, regardless of whether they are constructive or destructive ones. One should keep in mind the difference between a dream and an obsession. When you follow your personal legend, you walk your path and learn from it. The objective doesn’t blind you to the road that takes you there. On the other hand obsession is what prevents you from admiring the teachings of life. It’s like trying to get to your objective without passing through the challenges. I realized that despite the fear and the bruises of life, one has to keep on fighting for one’s dream. And one has to understand that being brave is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.
One I seek, one I know, one I see, one I call. He is the first, he is the last, he is the outer, he is the inner. Beyond "He" and "He is" I know no other. I am drunk from the cup of love; the two worlds have escaped me. I have no concern but carouse and rapture. If one day in my life I spend a moment without you from that hour and that time I would repent my life. If one day I am given a moment in solitude with you I will trample the two worlds underfoot and dance forever. Jalaluddin Rumi

The Royal Fairy Tale Wedding

I didn't really have the chance to write about the "Royal Wedding" earlier, so here you go…  Friday the 29 th , was a big day for the Brits. It was a national celebration actually it’s an old tradition since the British monarchy started. Everyone was talking about the Royal Wedding, even the people here in Cairo . I was surprised to hear about the majority of people from all over the world who attended or flow extra to London in order to take part of the celebration. It’s also quite interesting to hear about people who camped in Trafalgar Square, in central London . It reminds me back then, when people used to camp in “Ring Straße” in Vienna during the European Championship in 2008 or in Tahrir Square, but containing different events. I personally think it’s a bit too much for a wedding, although it’s not a “Normal Wedding”, but I believe that weddings should be shared between family and close friends, between people you love and not between million of people’s, hon...
