Look at those tiny little feet trying to reach the upper drawer to get that rainbow colored jar of gummy bears hidden by her Mother. How she wishes to grow up quickly to grab it easily! Look at those lines drawn with black crayon above his lips to look like his father. How he wishes to

توقف…
سلامٌ عليكم إخوتي.. سلامٌ عليكم رفقاءَ الروح.. سلامٌ عليكم بنو البشر يبدأُ يومنا بصحوة من موتة صغرى لنكمل ما انتهى إليه يومنا السابق ٬ نصحو لنغفو غفوةً أخرى ٬ غفوةً عمياء… غفوةً اكتست بثوب العيش و تزينت بما تعتقد أنه من أجمل و أهم ضروريات الحياة . قد نصحو بين الفينةِ و الأخرى لمدةٍ قصيرة ٬ صحوةً قد تنادي باستعجال غفوتنا […]
Soul Patting
Getting deeply involved in our daily activities and stressing ourselves with school, work, house chores and relationships might reach us to an overwhelming emotional state. We might act as if we are not who we are, say what we don’t mean and feel what we can’t describe. As if our life is an open box we are packed in, and it’s […]
Blacks and Whites
Have you ever thought of how funny we were used to explicit rights and wrongs at school? Where all answers had to be either correct or false, and there was no room for any answer in between, even questions that accept multiple answers were not allowed.

My First Violin Lesson..(II: Aloha)
Previous post: My First Violin Lesson..(Part I) And she started playing.. As soon as the bow had touched those Quadruple strings something within me got electrified and immediately blended with the surroundings. Musical notes were flooding all around me!

Shattered Optimism
This is the most unsuitable time for me to write, but I felt the urgency to let it out. Gadah used to be the optimistic quite girl with her smiley face accompanying her most of the time. Not that I was as happy as I seemed, but I’d always thought life is
The Human wonder
Analyzing my head would be an interesting adventure that I’ll do anything to try. How mesmerizing it is to have unique thoughts, opinions, emotions, reactions and everything born in that small part of your head! Knowing that almost everything in life has its own identity is itself fascinating! Which brings us to my all-time wonder:
Injured Humanity
The current events in Gaza have shaken the entire globe, leaving out the devils themselves, the zionists. It grew out of the muslims world to be the case of humanity, neglecting all races and religions. Feelings of anger and frustration are not considered if not expressed; hence, I’m writing these words, with a tearful heart […]
My First Violin Lesson..(Part I)
Walking down a corridor with a crimson floral wallpaper and dimmed lights, I was heading to the room where the only yellow lights where coming from. A hesitation moment left me bewildered. Shall I open the door to face what I’ve always wanted to experience, and live one of the hundred scenarios I’ve written about? Or shall I wait […]
The Art of Change
Can you imagine a world where everything is in constant state of stillness? Where everything is simply the same all the time! All actions are precisely repeatable, all reactions and moves are quite anticipated. Life would be filled with a killing routine! To live is to go through different stages, and grow throughout them as well. Just […]
