For you

This is for you.

indian jasmine, 

bucemvelia 

and love. 

 Yesterday, I just went with the flow,

no plan/expectations, just went with the flow

...where magic lives.  

Sea-picnic with my sisters, 

stars and that crazy moon.. 

In gratitude. 

Thank YOU for the wishes, sisters and brothers. 

Thank YOU for being.  

Silence is movement

On our road trip to Al Ula village, to Madaen Saleh, we met a-not-so-unexpected traveller. On average, 1 car passes every 5 minutes (on busy weekends).Still, nothing would stop her from crossing the road, exactly when she wanted, in her own chilled-out pace.

No matter what, keep on,even silence is movement.

- After a month I returned to facebook, having decided to use it a lot less and focus on my blog & instagram. 

Blessed Beginnings

56/365

Today I am celebrating blessed beginnings.

 The first baby among girlfriends 
arrived on Monday...

bringing with it my first flower card. 

We are more than excited 
to have him into the world!.

(the wishes are written in Greek).

Γιορτάζουμε τις ευλογημένες αρχές.
Το πρώτα παιδάκι της παρέας μας
έφερε και τη πρώτη λουλουδόκαρτα.

Καλώς ήρθες! 

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.

"God, 
in what unforeseen, 
wonder-full places

you are leading me to"

(translation from Greek)

Have a graceful new week, beautiful people.

Never return the same

47/365

The prayers fly to higher skies

and reach the ears of God

Her path is more golden 
than she knew

when she set sail 
that hopeful morning...

She knew she would never return the same

Joyful exhaustion

46/365

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.
