A sleepy song..for slow mornings

Jeddah Festival

Near Eve’s grave

the heart of Al Balad, 

beams.

Moon-eyed boys, 

charcoal faces,

dance the now,

jumping into the joy of yesterday.

Humbled by Hejazi’ hospitality,

we journeyed into stories,

remembered

that neighborhood

was family.

The heart,

the world.

Rested our wishes on wood,

then in the air

to branch out,

to bloom

some breaths away,

where camels and people

relive the holy voyage.

retell what resists to fade,

yearns

to be

celebrated,

acknowledged

before all

spoke of love.

Joyful exhaustion

What a Day! ✨ 

Lying on the trampoline floor in sweet exhaustion.

Today I completed the Reiki Training with a wonderful teacher Amani Ismail.

This training enabled me to practically comprehend,

even for moments

 the lesson older than any human alphabet. 

We are here for one reason. 

To love and be loved. 

The rest are efforts
or fear of
 getting there.

Thank You God, for guiding me. 

For being with me, even when my faith was weak.

Use me, God, they way you wish
so that I may benefit as many as I can.

This beautiful video...tells it all.
