If Only...

Its simple...look at the HERE and NOW. If you have an ounce of morality it shouldn't be hard to see right from wrong.. to see through the Titles and self proclaimed entitlement. Look at your neighbor near or far and realize you really share the same backyard. Look at your neighbor and see that together,you CAN change your future. Realize that your enemies are those that tell you otherwise, they tell you that this is not possible... They set the divide, creating sides, making you feel entitled, empowered or threatened. The right and just are really simple.. But realizing it for oneself isn't always as such..

Her Eyes

Her eyes...
Look into their depths.
Dark and deep.
Her eyes engulf yours with their mystery..

She contains a universe longing to be known.
Words wont and will never part her lips..

Her eyes both warm and raging..
A majesty worth seeking,
But never obtainable.

In her eyes..
You lose yourself in search for reason.

Her soul can't be contained.

Through her eyes..
Her soul runneth over.

For Her

So much can be said for a woman that can stand tall on her own two feet, without the influence of a man to fuel her existence. There is an undeniable strength in a woman, if only she allows herself to truly Be herself.  To believe in herself and her God given gifts. To have total faith in God & not a man.

There is something to be said about the strength it takes for a woman, to divide herself for the ones she loves. It's in her undivided, unconditional attention and affection for her husband, children & family.

She makes hard work look simple and effortless. Don't take her for granted. When she makes your life comfortable, it can be relatively easy to over look the little things. Don't forget the small things.  Try a little walk, a soft kiss, a random note, a compliment, a gift. Just give a little thought.


For her, it means everything.

Sometimes I wonder

Today I can't find the right words no matter how hard I try to find them for some reason. But, in this case I wonder about peoples actions and sometimes lack of with the varying factors that are behind them. How it is we are able to see guidance and at other times don't, or do but completely ignore it?

Sometimes I wonder.

It’s been a couple of weeks since grandmother & myself left Sacramento for Cairo, and all the chaos with moving was quite hard on us. Alhamdulilah, everything fell into place. Everything sorted itself out despite Egypt’s revolution and the constant changes in our flight status.

By the time we had arrived in Cairo airport, I felt a huge relief. We finally made it. I was sure that Ahmed and I would be reunited and there would be no separating again.

Grandma was amazed at how fast and how nice the man who assisted us within’ the airport got us through to buy our Visit Visa, through Customs and to our baggage claim in no time. The young man would push grandmother’s wheelchair and slide/skid on his shoes with the biggest smile on his face all the while calling out to workers ” Priority! Priority! .” I have to say he was quite funny and pleasant to be around. He was a beautiful example of Egyptian hospitality and good sense of humor.

On our way out of the airport, there was a demonstration for higher wages. Staff rushed us straight through, But I had no problem with the sight or sound of it at all.. I felt so moved to be within’ Egypt. A new even more beautiful Egypt, with everything it stands for and represents. People for the people. A right to life and dignity. A universal right.
