About dreams

From the womb of agony

Dreams are born

Sweet and pure

We nourish and groom

And watch them grow

After living in us

Long enough

They come alive

Before we know it

We start living in them

Living…them

HUNGRY

Intertwined!

.

How could one be spiritual

Without being saturated in love?

It’s impossible

How would one experience love

Without being spiritual to the core?

It’s not possible

.

.

When you love

You are bursting with curiosity

Teeming with awe and wonder

You see splendour all around

In the most unlikely places

And the most unnoticeable things

.

.

This beautiful feeling

Immeasurable

Irrational

Majestic

Real

Mysterious

Overwhelming

Defying all laws

Challenging all notions

Transcending all boundaries

Refusing to be defined

Making life worthwhile living

Gives you a glimpse into the infinite

The unknown

.

.

The more deeply you look at the visible

The closer you become to seeing the invisible

.

.

As you board the boat of love

You embrace your spiritual-self

Embarking on a magical journey

Floating… following your destiny

Spirituality and love are inseparable… intertwined

.

؟ ؟ ؟ ؟ ؟ ؟ ؟ . . . . . ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What kind of music is this I am hearing?

Who is whispering in my ear?

Scented words that has no meaning

To no one else but this poor little girl

Drizzling love…serene delightful

Fizzing my mind with fragrant sparkles

Showering me with sweet aroma

Bathing me in heavenly foam

Suds of joy danced around

Bubbles of ecstasy embraced my soul

The Spirit of Palestine

.

You bombard us with death

.

.

We “retaliate” by loving life… ever more

.

.

You destroy our land

.

.

We fight back by tending more

.

.

You uproot our trees

.

.

We resist by planting more

.

.

You display your arrogance

.

.

We share our hospitality and love of humanity

.

.

You froth your supremacy with vengeance

.

.

We embrace hope with faithful glee

.

.

You turn our farms into eyesore fortresses

.

.

We heal and caress with warm loving hands

.

.

You steal our organs and chop our limbs

.

.

Our tolerance grows… Our hearts expands

.

.

You restrict our movement

.

.

Our wings carry us far and high

.

.

You destroy our homes

.

.

Our love for the world increases many folds

.

.

You imprison us behind walls

.

.

We fly beyond reality and dreams

.

.

You bomb our schools

.

.

We learn in the street

.

.

You cut off our energy supplies

.

.

With candle light we persevere

.

.

You flood us with hate and cruelty

.

.

Our compassion grows … keeping us afloat

.

.

You imprison our finest

.

.

Our mothers sing for love and freedom

.

.

You try to humiliate us

.

.

Dignity becomes our trademark

.

.

You try to crush our spirit

.

.

Our courage becomes a legend

.

.

You try to turn our lives to misery

.

.

Our infectious celebrations inspire  joy and jubilation

.

.

You kill our babies

.

.

Our henna-painted hands embrace those who are yet to be born

.

.

You can burn our homes, food, beds and toys

.

.

But you can never steal our tranquility and peace of mind

Nor can you stop us from playing

.

.

Out of your horror

We create beauty

.

.

In your bombshells

We grow daffodils, lilies, basil and Jasmine

.

.

Your nerve and teargas bombs

We fill with flowers, scented and delightful

.

.

Do you really think

Such spirit can be defeated!

.

.

NAY

Such is the spirit of Palestine

.

“Chutzpah” of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

The “Chutzpah” of Lord Chief Rabbi of Great Britain in his new revelations leaves you speechless:

“AIPAC” is something out of this world”

“Europe is anti-semetic”

“Falafel is Jewish”“anti-Zionism IS the new anti-semitism”

“to be a Jew in israel means you care for every life, every life is sacred”

“israel has taken a barren land and making it bloom”

“israel is an inspiration to the world”

and much much more

Thank you Lina

When I visited my friend, we sat to watch the news together with her little girl Lina, who surprised us with her wisdom and compassion.

Six-year-old Lina
Sitting with her mum
In her world of dreams
Watching news

Gazing away
Abruptly she says
“Mama
You know
Those Jews
Who took our land
If suddenly
They changed their mind
Decided
To give it all back
Even our trees
And our food
Then they’d become poor
They wouldn’t have to worry
We will give them
Some of our food
Share with them
Every thing we have
Mama
We won’t be bad”

This little Lina
Only months ago
Had a soldier’s gun
Pointing against her head

This little Lina
Only weeks ago
Had her uncle’s home
By their bulldozers
Razed to the ground

This little Lina
Didn’t know that
Only today
Some settlers
Protected by guns
And soldiers,
Invaded her village
Silwan
Near Jerusalem
Forced the inhabitants out
Of their homes
And occupied them

This little Lina
Proved very wrong
All that they say
“The abused …
Will become the abuser”

This little Lina
Never lost her soul
This little Lina
No doubt
Is our hope
And our ultimate victory
