Life - Untangled

Waves of roses rush the ocean of the heart
sailing to a shore of crystal sands

Where sands and rose waves blend together
in the infinite warmth of golden sun rays

A perfect velvety feeling...
An aroma of crystals

Where does the ocean lead?
What does a rose rush want?

It wants life, to the fullest
It wants joy in a safe haven

In a world blessed by tomorrow and hope
By today's laughter and your favorite childhood toy

By a deep breath of relief
of yesterday, now, and the horizon...

Feb. Week in Dubai

Amazing were the days I spent in Dubai with Wael, Cherine, Karim, and Lea. I went to Dubai Mall - most importantly to Candylicious and Kinokuniya, in addition to many other stores. We had so much fun on Valentine's Day. We celebrated with the kids first at home then went out for dinner in Bannihanas. We went karting. Also, Uptown. And shopping and shopping and shopping...I played Dominos with Lea in the morning, took her to Hamley's in the afternoon and random evening would be coming back from "Uptowny" or "Dubai Mally"! Too many beautiful things were happening...Thank God.

IPT Excerpt

Following is an excerpt from my daily meditation journal IPT (Inner Peace Time) at Peace Revolution 2010. I found it coming from the heart. It actually came as a response to the question:

Our life is like a rollercoaster with ups, downs, sharp turns and many unexpected moments. What can you do to better to prepare for your life’s journey?

I can think big, live simple.

I can raise my awareness through daily meditations.

I can say "I can." and it will be.

I can prepare for a better life but not expect one.

I can love deeply everyone and everything that is.

I can write poetry.

I can dance.

I can sing.

I can pray.

I can look at the rose and look again and smell

and smell again

I can find something new everytime...

The journey is an expedition. A person may prepare. Though "Luck favors the prepared." things might flip any time...Just witness, without a word, without a plan, without a say.

Our life is like a rollercoaster with ups, downs, sharp turns and many unexpected moments. What can you do to better to prepare for your life’s journey?

=> Nothing in particular.
