Endless Beginnings...
For God's sake, tell me where to begin? I was set out to write about Father's day and the thousands of fatherless Iraqi children.The thousands of killed fathers, the thousands of fathers trying desperately hard to feed their families, daily putting their lives at great risk, in a country gripped by demonic violence. The exiled fathers, selling scraps in Amman and Damascus, bearing the brunt of daily insults. Or the unemployed fathers, feeling torn inside watching their kids go hungry. Or maybe the head bent down father, slouched posture, hiding scars beneath a worn out shirt. The father that has been imprisoned, humiliated, tortured and sodomized, unable to look his children in the eyes... Or maybe I should write about sexual torture and sodomy instead... The further horrors emerging from Abu Ghraib and the Taguba report... More reports of "abuse". And I am sure Abu Ghraib is not over. I am certain that more Abu Ghraibs are taking place in Iraq, in those shadowy deten

...or maybe it was/is a blessing, for it led me away from life but close to Iraq's heart...
You're brilliant, and don't let anyone tell you different. I am a writer who has a manuscript at a publishing house, and you leave me in the dust.
As for IQ tests, that's garbage. Einstein was told he would never succeed. Essentially, he was stupid. If he hadn't wound up in a "sort of" exile, most of us speculate he would never have produced the extraordinary work he did.
Thank you for a beautiful comment.
Thank you and you make me blush.
Excuse my ignorance but is Morgan a name for a woman, man or both ? I've always wondered about that...
You can join us on condition that you partake in the hubbly bubbly smoke...
Am in exile, and I have not defied the law of gravity yet. lol.
I should let Morgan speak for himself/herself. Generally, Morgan is a man's name. BUT, ocassionally, it functions as a woman's name as well.
I could think of lots of jokes around this name peculiarity, but, I'll leave that for Morgan, himself?
(Once I was in a software class northeast of Sacramento, and I insisted the teacher refer to me as 'it', and he commented that I must be from the Bay Area. That stuck.)
I have read where the sense of smell is the strongest in regards to transgression or recalling the past.
I have to agree. I can be anywhere at anytime and a scent I may catch and instantly my mind/thoughts are back to then.
Scents can also trigger past traumas or certain events. Children that have been abused or molested can have a fear of certain smells because of this and they are engrained in the memories probably for a lifetime.
I am happy, that you can sniffle the scent of the molester!!!!!!!!!!!!

We dont know who the driver is, where we are headed each day, how long we will be along for the ride and what sights & experiences we will witness or try to reach.
Sometimes we have the choice to just get out. Others go down a long bumpy road. Others wonder why this particular taxi happened to be theirs.
"Because I am a non-European I have a different system of thinking, my order is different. Deconstructionism and the structuralist theories are based on theories which were so-called rationalist, one way of doing things. I don't belong to that tradition. I belong to a tradition which already has a different order. They are called more emotional, intuitive, but intuitive is not instinctive. Intuitive is the marriage of rationalism and experience."
Truth does not need to prove itself. It just is.
and here lies the difference between people who instinctively know how to experience life vs those who remain 'unmarried' thru a life of rationalism.
smell on.

Very nice comment!
Kiss my ass and my kundara, ya Adabziz, arziz, namoosziz.
I don't like Zaha Hadid at all. Her futuristic, too modern archicterural designs are an insult to me. Besides she made good money designing the new embassy of the new liberated Iraq in DC.
Intuition is not a product of rationalism and experience. Intuition is FITRA. Zaha Hadid forgot the meaning of it.
Welcome to across borders "out of place " club.
So Morgan is the name for a woman. OK got it now. It made me laugh...Your nose that is...but come to think of it - I will tell you what Annie said - "Smell on".
