Dive...
Open your eyes wide to see what lies in the depths
Leave its waves to turn your life upside down, it can’t be worse anyway
Talk to it..
Small things that matter..

“Opportunity” is the mirage that we follow, ending up of deviating from the real path of our dreams.

It (*) was standing alone, shouting like a crazy man
holding a sword
Fighting enemies that chain it
And making of their chains a shield to hide behind
To shield itself from hits
From wars
& from the challenges of life
As a stranger you came..
You fought my shields
My craziness
& my selfishness..
I was shocked..
Brought back to earth
Invited to a challenge
A challenge of rising from my sleep
of breathing your air
of taming my heart..
As a stranger I am to you
Lonely and mysterious
Awesome & crazy
I was afraid to step on your grounds
To know your game rules
To see the heart behind your smiles..
You invited it to take this challenge
A challenge in which it will aside all its weapons
Discover a new ground
That is neither mine nor yours..
***
(*) It; refers to my heart
***
Written those words, just a few days before 20.1.2005; when i said my first yes to my stranger..

اذهب للسوبرماركت لشراء شىء اكله فى الدقائق المتاحة لى – او التى اتييحها لنفسى – لاستريح من ساعات العمل الطويلة..
ادخل فى الاتجاه المحدد لما اريد شراؤه
يفاجئنى ذلك العامل الجالس عند احدى ال"كاشير" بابتسامته المبهجة؛ و التى دائما تشعرنى بفرح كبير‘ حلم و امل فى قلب هذا الولد
افاجأ، و اتجنب النظر اليه .... لقد نسيت!!!
***
اتذكر حماسى عندما صعد هذا الولد للشركة التى اعمل بها، سائلا عن المنح الدراسية التى نقدمها (فى مجال هندسة الحاسب الالى) ؛ كيف رحبت به، و اخذت رقم تليفونه لاسال عن المنح و اعاود الاتصال به..
كان فى غاية الامل و الاحراج؛ فقد شعر اننا كلنا "مشغولون" بما هو "اهم" فى الشركة.. تأسف كثيرا، ترك تليفونه و مضى شاكرا لنا جدا.
اتذكر كيف حكيت عنه لاختى؛ عن اعجابى بطموح الشباب مثله، و اعرابى عن سعادتى به..
اتذكر ايضا حديث طويل مع (ر)، و الذى انهيته بعبارة "نسافر و نسيب مصر لمين، احنا عندنا رسالة فيها، فيه ناس كتير محتاجة لينا هنا"
***
يواجهنى الولد
يسألنى: "انا اسف على الازعاج، و لكن هل عرفت متى تبدأ المنحة، و كيف اقدم فيها؟"
(كم هى معلومة بسيطة كان من الممكن ان اسأل عنها فى خمس دقائق، و لكنى "مشغولة"!!)
اتأسف ، و اعتذر له بانه لم تسنح لى الفرصة لسؤال المسئول عن المنح، اعده باننى سأعاود الاتصال به لاحقا...
***
كاذبة انا
ليس على الولد
و لكن
على نفسى!!!!!

We used to live in one room ever since I was born;
Me and the beast
Imprisoned behind a fence in the room;
Me, not the beast!
Afraid; that’s how I live my whole life..
“Do you have a key to the fence?” a friend asks
“There is a key in the door, but I don’t have it”
“!!!!” my friend astonished
“Why don’t you open it” asks my friend
“If I open it the beast will kill me”
“But you can defeat the beast, or you might even be friends!”
“If I tried to open the door; I might die!”
“If you just stayed behind; you will die of fear!”
