Lady Breeze

Certain and strong I stood against it all once again. But the wind has blown me off to a stormy foreign land. Unknown and uncertain. I thought I know it all, but turned out I know nothing. That sharp image that I once knew, tuned to the darkest hazy blue. And it is getting out of hand. Amidst the chaos with an empty mind I hear no voices no sounds except for the echo of my screaming pride. So for a friendly voice I heed, If only you could see. But it makes no sense to wait for the sun heat in a rainy winter cold night.

Today I woke up healthy, in a cozy house, with food in my fridge, water running down the tap, electricity to power my gadgets, money in my pocket. I have a good job, loving friends and a supportive family. Like everybody else, I have been wishing for more that I took everything I have for granted. I only needed to look around for a moment and count my blessings just like I am looking out for more.  Nothing in life is permanent or guaranteed, so better enjoy what you have instead of wasting your life looking at what you don't.

“Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighborhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God will open up a new path only for you. Be thankful!”

"Culture is what makes life worth living". - T.S. Eliot

كم يمر الوقت ببطء شديد عندما تنتظر شيئا بشدة ... ويمر بسرعة البرق عندما لا تكون منتظر شيء ...

''Thirst for knowledge and greed for explanations never lead to a thinking inquiry. Curiosity is always the concealed arrogance of a self-consciousness that banks on a self-invented ratio and its rationality. The will to know does not will to abide in hope before what is worthy of thought.'' - An Inquirer
