And it was about then, about that time, that I began to find life unsatisfactory as an explanation of itself and was forced to adopt the method of the artist of not explaining but putting the blocks together in some other way that seems more significant to him. Which is a rather fancy way of saying I started writing. ↗

One true king knew when to step aside and give up the reins of power—to remove his crown and relinquish his kingdom—all for the sake of glimpsing, just once in a lifetime, the face of a holy child. He was the Fourth to follow the Star. His gift was a secret. The rest of his journey is unknown. ↗

لما الإله العظيـم .. شاء م التراب آدم ومدده ع التــراب .. تمثال، جماد، آدم نفخ ف صورته وقال .. اسمعـــني يا آدم وانظر وشوف حكمتي .. في جنــس بني آدم من قبل ما انفخ جمال الروح في تمثالـك من غير ما روح الصفا تسري في صلصالــك من غير ما تبقى جميل وشريف في أفعالـك إيش تسوى؟.. حفنة تراب في الأرض يا آدم بالكلمة تهزم سيوف .. والكلمة مسموعـة ع الشوك تمشي شريف .. والراس مرفوعــة خطوة في طريق الأمل .. والخطوة متبوعـة نوّر طريق الحيــاة .. بالحب يـــا آدم ↗

You are the best. You are the worst. You are average. Your love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself. To understand your fellow humans, you must understand why you give them your love. You must realize that hate is but a crime-ridden subdivision of love. You must reclaim what you never lost. You must take leave of your sanity, and yet be fully responsible for your action. ↗

In America, it's where you end up that matters, not how you get there. As long as you get there, no one asks questions. You don't ask. You never ask. And if someone does ask how you got there? It's usually a harmless person who never got anything, never got out, died paying rent as he waited for God to deliver him. ↗
