Who am I ? The eternal Question . Have not figured it out fully yet. All you need to know about me is that I am a Middle Easterner, an Arab Woman - old enough to know better. I have no homeland per se...All the rest is icing on the cake. Copyrights reserved 2006-2020
You love Nature- so do I. Nature is endowed with variety of beauty, e.g. fragrances of the roses, silent flowing streams and falling leaves.
Things change but Nature is ever lasting it keeps refreshing our thoughts and enchanting our souls. Nature keeps adding more and more beauty to the environment. So does the lady who hides in black.

Brilliant tapestry of words, Layla, as always. Thank you, with love.
Layla, I can relate to alot of what you say, in that about how Life can be observed and it seems to be so . . .
You mentioned yer interest in death in one of yer posts. Death..that passing along seems to be in many ways the 'final frontier'.
Isnt it ironic that we come into this World and we cant even remember it or at the time we are not capable of describing that expereince. WOW, what an entry ! :-) All the bright lights, attention and fan fare and we cant even recall it.
I hope when I meet Death that I am fully conscious. I dont want any of this passing away while unconscious or worse yet..in my sleep. I dont want Life to bargain with Death so that in my final moments of existence, this experience is stolen from me.
Here's a very small sample of "rights & freedoms" in Ameranazica.

Laylaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!! What the friggin fucking hoot of a fig of a hell is happening to this world ????????
The Talibans are putting the US to rout in Afghanistan...with all due respect for everybody who fights back against injustice, but...the Talibans, those semi-literated obscurantist boors for heck's sake !!!!!!
And our highly educated, enlightened, secular, progressive, visionary, revolutionary, Pan-Arabist forces spend their time sitting on armchairs masturbating their pc keyboards with one hand and counting US Sahwa $$$ with the other !!!!!!
God, tell me it's not true because I can't take any more of this...

Thank you. But am not some morbid macabre obsessive about death sort of person...I just find death a fascinating transit... Having said that, what bothers me most about the "human condition" is their inability to think of their own finity...hence their stupidity.
I know yer not obsessive about death Layla. I grew up around death in a sort of eerily / evil way. Hence maybe my fasination with 'evil' and how it operates....ever so sly appearing to be blanketed in love.
My mother tried to kill my sister. I remember it inbits & pieces. We were talking of this tonite..kind of re-living moments with 'mommy-dearest. I was 9 at the time, the youngest. Her doctor friend was in on it too.
11 years ago she got away with killing my stepfather..all for the money and walked away with it all as cool as a cucumber. On eof my sisters and I knw our stepfather wouldnt last long once our mother removed him from the nursing home and took him home. Oh no; One day my sister & I went to her sliding glass door at the back of her house and there sat mommy dearest.....all bundled up on the sofa with blankets on her while our stepfather lay on his hosptital bed with his underwear on....freezing of course cus she had the air conditioner on. See, if he got pnuemonia and died..it would all play out so conveniant for her. Thats why seh took him home; to kill him.
He was dead within the week she took him home.
Anyway.....yer right. Wrongs committed do have a way of righting themselves eventually.
I have to disagree with you there. Who do you think the "Northern Alliance" is supported and funded by, the same Northern Alliance in power now.
iran is nearly as involved in Afghanistan as IT is in Iraq, i said nearly. In fact iran played the same role facilitating the invasion of Afghanistan as it did with the invasion of Iraq.
Let me teach you a few words in Arabic. Ashes is "Ramad" and Dust is "Turab" which also means earth, the soil, and "Turba" may also mean tomb or more exactly the grounds where someone is buried. Ramad and Turab is what Ramadi looks like today. Ramadi in the Anbar province. The hated Anbar, part of the "triangle". The ever so despised Anbar by both the Americans and the Iranians. The hatred was most evident today. The American Forces - wait, I take that back - they are not forces, they are cowards. The American cowards bombed Ramadi today. Many homes were demolished. A family of thirteen was buried under the rubbles. More than 26 civilians were killed, out of which 4 women and several children. Two infants, the youngest was 1 month old. Men rushed to the ruins trying to rescue whatever human form they can find. Bare hands, rugged, dust covering their faces and hair, digging and digging... Most had nothing but a shirt on. No vest, no sweater, no n
I vaguely remember the title of this film. It was “Looking for Mr.Goodbar”, starring Diane Keaton, if I recall correctly. Another neurotic, desperate, dependent, insecure, American “woman”, looking for love in all the wrong places... An emotional survival story. I've read a lot of your so-called emotional survival stories... Your dog dies, and you seek emotional survival by either sleeping with the first pretender or you are stuck in therapy for another 5 years. You lose your job and there you go, acting out, fucking around as if there is no tomorrow... You grandparent or parent dies and ditto, you recourse to the same... Your twin towers collapse and ditto again – you have been in therapy ever since. Your therapist is very understanding, after all you pay him/her over 200 dollars an hour and she/he pats you on the back and tells you it’s ok, it’s nothing but a phase of grief...don’t punish yourself, you are just trying to heal... How very touching indeed. You the puritanical, hall
I must be somewhat of a masochist. Whenever I feel a kind of " blah" pervading me, I watch these "religious" TV stations, with the secret hope for a " pick me up" kind of feeling. The "pick me up" has to do more with a few giggles rather than a "moment of Grace" even though I would not refuse the latter. I have no particular preference. I zap from the depressing shia al-Forat channel to the equally depressing sunni Iqra channel and to the even more depressing "born again" Christian channels. And each time I do that and watch what these guys (and most of them are guys) have to say, I feel like flagellating myself afterwards. No, no, it is not due to some secret hidden desire to become a "sect martyr". It has more to do with a sense of guilt for having put my poor mind through so much torture. What is torturing about it is the way I feel afterwards... The subliminal message is almost always identical : " You are n

tahnks sindbad, i found your post very soothing
thank you...you are a great woman-person.
Thank you.
But am not some morbid macabre obsessive about death sort of person...I just find death a fascinating transit...
Having said that, what bothers me most about the "human condition" is their inability to think of their own finity...hence their stupidity.
I say to myself and to you -- PATIENCE. Afghanistan is not Iraq and vice versa and remember there is no Iran and no Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan !!!!
you disappoint me... Take a crash course in women in their 40's will you please ?
Still, you are right, the waiter had nothing to do with my existential pizza...
Yes I do love nature...You must be a quite observant follower...
Did you ever notice that ? That the whole universe is represented in a leaf. Just look at a leaf and see how one leaf, has a source and off shoots...

NO!
When I said no Iran in Afghanistan I meant no Iranian militias and death squads...
