ثــــوب الـدرويـــش
يــمــسك بالأرض
يــديرهــا فتتــيه
The robe of the dervish
Holds the Earth tight
Turns it; it goes astray
دوار الــنــــشوة
يــصـــيــب صــــانــع الــفــخــــار
يـــغــدو مـــزهــريـــة
Dizziness of ecstasy
Hits the pottery maker.
He becomes a vase.
I’ve always dreamt of visiting Petra. The photos I’d seen of in my history books, postcards and, at a later stage, online made me yearn to go there. However, it wasn’t as I’d expected it. The trip was exhausting and breathtaking, metaphorically and literally. Now, there will be a post about the trip in details, but for now here is a selection of them. BTW, my Sony RX1 was awesome there. I never regretted any of the $$$ I spent on it. Love you, RX1.
I’ve chosen some of my favourite photos of Aleppo that I took over my several holidays there. I’ve decided not to include date and place info as the purpose of this gallery is not to document but to publicise art and the beauty of an old city that has endured quite a lot recently.
But where is this gathering?
– I don’t know, my little angel.
But do the others know?
– No, they don’t know either.
How can you go to a gathering without knowing where it is?
– It suffices to walk, just walk. Those who are invited will find the way.
Hello Chaps! This is my blog with new attire. Just thought I would build it from scratch and make it a place for a bit of everything. There will be articles, news, links, images and others about music, technology, gadgets, apps, photography and gear, literary quotes, poetry and haikus, some philosophy and self-development stuff.
