# 21 - Andante

For some reasons Mozart plays a big roll in my life.. not because I play piano nor because he is famous, but because as a little girl I used to march round and round the room and dance ballet to an old recording that my father used to play, and since then, my love to Mozart and general to the classical music has remained and grown. ... and now I'll leave you with one of my favorite pieces ... Enjoy! :)  

Die Zauberflöte

Mozart: Duet, Papagena / Papageno Pa-Pa-Pa-Papagena! Papagena: Pa-Pa-Pa-Papageno! Papageno: Bist du mir nun ganz gegeben? Papagena: Nun, bin ich dir ganz gegeben! Papageno: Nun, so sei mein liebes Weibchen! Papagena: Nun, so sei mein Herzenstäubchen! Beide: Welche Freude wird das sein, Wenn die Götter uns bedenken, Unsrer Liebe Kinder schenken, So liebe, kleine Kinderlein!... Papageno:

Das Glück ist eben ein Flickenteppich

Es geht mir schon langsam auf die nerven… all die Prüfungen, Projekte, wieder Prüfungen, Lernen, Präsentationen, dann wieder Projekte... Ach, Ich will einfach nicht mehr... ich kann’s nicht mehr aus halten, Es ist heiß, schwül, trocken, keine Motivation mehr und ich muss dass alles fertig machen, in so eine kurze Zeit! Ha- Le- Lu- Ja! Aber, Ich hab eh noch eine Woche, immer hin, also ich wird’s halt mein bestes geben!  Die Sache ist die – Ich habe schon so lange nichts mehr getan von dem, was ich eigentlich tun wollte; ich habe wieder und wieder den Mut nicht gefunden aber – Hey, Es hilft nicht, sich fort zu wünschen, sich stärker und mutiger zu wünschen; man muss einfach die Klappe aufreißen. Irgendwas sagen; sich blamieren, verlieren, vielleicht, vielleicht nicht. Man sollte kleine Stückchen Glück auflesen; sie sammeln, bis irgendwann ein gewisser Grad an Zufriedenheit erreicht ist - Und die Frage, ob man ihn je erreichen wird, man ihn überhaupt erreichen kann, einfach mal in ...

Light Breeze

As regards feeling pain, like a hand cut in battle, consider the body a robe you wear. When you meet someone you love, do you kiss their clothes?  Search out who's inside. Union with God is sweeter than body comforts. We have hands and feet different from these. Sometimes in dream we see them. That is not illusion. It's seeing truly. You do have a spirit body; don't dread leaving the physical one. Sometimes someone feels this truth so strongly that he or she can live in mountain solitude totally refreshed. The worried, heroic doings of men and women seem weary and futile to dervishes enjoying the light breeze of spirit.    - Rumi
I'm a deep thinker, and I tend to over-analyze every breath I take, yea, my poor friend Lama has to suffer with me, sometimes, ahmm yea, .. okay always :D I bet she hates me already for that. But “analyzing things” is in my blood, you can say, something I was born with. I never feel satisfied unless I analyze, peoples’ behaviors, situations,..ect Usually I know exactly what I want and what I need to fulfill, in order to reach my aim in life. Therefore (thinking back) I actually never gave up on something! And here it comes for some reasons, I guess I’ll have to close my eyes and give up this time… just let it go, even without trying to fight for it. Maybe it’s the fear inside me that’s telling me: “Nesma, forget it, it won’t turn as you want!” But why? Maybe because it’s too good to be true? Well I know very well it’s too perfect, and that’s WHY I’m scared. I’m scared to take any further steps! Therefore, should I let it go? I don’t know why, but for some reasons, I have this wei...

Wien Bleibt Wien!

23.06.2011 Is the Famous March that was composed by Johann Schrammel, that today people use the title as a quote, which means “ Vienna remains Vienna ”. Whenever you depart this country and come back after long time, you will find everything the same... Honestly, I never believed it until I experiment it by my self today! It’s true. Nothing has changed as if I left it yesterday!    As the plan hit the ground, a small quick vision crossed my mind; Friends, Tante Helga, Maria Regina, Rudolfinerhaus, Türkenschanzpark, Eis avec Zab, 1. and 19. Bezirk, Ring, Stadtpark Kärtnerstraße, ect .. It’s weird that since I’m back in Egypt , I actually never talked about my days in Vienna with anyone. I never felt that I missed it, as if it was a part of my life that I wanted to delete, although it's not the case. Maybe because if I had talked about it, I won’t be able to live my life normally, so I had to run and forget about it and open a new page? As soon I was outside...
Ein junger Mann fragte Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, wie man eine Symphonie schreiben soll? "Sie sind noch jung", meinte Mozart, "fangen sie jedoch mit Liedern an!". "Aber Sie selber haben ja schon mit zwölf Jahren Symphonien geschrieben!" "gewiss, gewiss", entgegnete Mozart. "Aber ich habe nie gefragt, wie man das anstellen soll".
