من يعرف محمد البطراوي، أبو خالد، يعرف اننا فقدنا انسانا كنزاً هذا الشهر.. كان صديقي وسيظل..
كتبت هذا النص وقرأته لحفل تأبين مفكرنا الكبير.. ثم وجدت ان الملف صار على اليوتيوب.. تفضلوا بالاستماع.. فقط الاربع ونصف دقائق الاولى من الفيديو.. أما الخمس رقائق الباقية من الفيديو فهي صمت..
انقر(ي) هنا للاستماع
سعيدة انه عاش بيننا وقدّم ما قدّم (بمعنى التقديم، ومعنى التقدُّم أيضا).. شكراً للحياة..

A Pilgr-image -- رحلة حجيج

I am walking a journey of a thousand miles this year, each day a few miles, to honor my people, the Arabs, breaking the barrier of fear to freedom, step by step, a pilgr-image that will change our image in our own eyes, and the eyes of the world..
I am so LOOKING forward :D

I hope that you too are walking a journey that you love ...

. . . Think a new thought that you have not thought before!
what a waste of time this staying in the same thoughts and
feelings when a thousand flowers are out there in the field waiting for
us to know how alive we can be..
in ways we have not been alive before..

be alive in a new way. . .

The beginning of week # 12 of the year..
The moon is full with people's desires..
Happy New season to all
May it bring you all the flowers of life
That you have asked for in the winter..
It's a good day to start a blog.. and plant
Some sweet words for the bees and
Bright ones for the butterflies..
