* نجلاء .. نجلااااء ... نجلااااااااء ... . - الساعة الآن التاسعة صباحاً إنهضي وإنفضي عن وسادتكِ رذاذ الأحلام ، كان هذا صوتها أمي لتفيقني من ذاك الحلم الذي كنت أهذي به كل ليلة ! تمنيت حينها لو أصيبت ذاكرتي بغيبوبة عن واقع لا يحتويه ، عن واقع لا يعانق وجوده ! أفقت وكعادتي أمضي إلى طريق مجهول ومسافات غريبة أحمل حقائب أحلامي وأجمع بها لوحاتي وأمل أتسكع به على دهاليز مدينتي الباريسية ! ↗
Once, when I was puzzled to know why there were so many religions, he said: "There is one universal religion, Helen- the religion of love. Love your heavenly father with your whole heart and soul, love every child of God as much as you ever can, and remember that the possibilities of good are greater than the possibilities of evil; and you have the key to heaven." And his life was a happy illustration of this great truth. In this noble soul love and widest knowledge were blended with faith that had become insight. He saw God in all that liberates and lifts, in all that humbles, sweetens and consoles. ↗

We all build internal sea walls to keep at bay the sadnesses of life and the often overwhelming forces within our minds. In whatever way we do this—through love, work, family, faith, friends, denial, alcohol, drugs, or medication—we build these walls, stone by stone, over a lifetime. One of the most difficult problems is to construct these barriers of such a height and strength that one has a true harbor, a sanctuary away from crippling turmoil and pain, but yet low enough, and permeable enough, to let in fresh seawater that will fend off the inevitable inclination toward brackishness. ↗
