Reflections.. Music from my dear friend Cengiz.
I was searching for some photos and I came across this photo of me. I was wondering what I did with it and today I found it 🙂
This photo was taken on the Nile in Cairo just after the Iraq war was started. This photo was just minutes before I entered the Studio of Nile Sat.
I was trying to get a mind set and lessen my nerves for doing the interview. This was my favorte part of the Nile, there are benches you can sit and relax watching the tourist boats go around the local area of Cairo.
I was also asking God for guidance and the power to represent myself well and also American converts. Afterwards .. I knew he heard me.
As I walked into the studio where we would do the interview on TV.. the camera men all made a sound as if they were breathless as I walked by them.. I really do believe that God was walking next to me and I really did for this time feel ANGELIC..
I was invited to be interviewed by Mohamed Islam, a very well known and loved man.. I now know why 🙂 He is wonderful, intelligent and most of all a good Muslim.
We taped 2 programs each 15 minutes in length.. We sat at a round glass table and for the short time I felt it was just Mohamed Islam and myself in this world and nothing else existed.
He was asking me questions concerning my conversion to Islam and also being an American and living in Cairo and my perceptions on life in Cairo. Being a State owned station I am sure my words were edited and maybe even turned around, not sure since I never viewed the tapes.
I was told that the show would be aired after the war, however I don't know even now if it was I have Mohamed Islam mobile number and I will call him about it one day 🙂
I thought you might enjoy the view of that day I was on TV and seeing the beautiful Nile..
There is a saying in Egypt.. " If you drink from the Nile, you will return"
I drank of the Nile for years.. 🙂
Love to all,
Fatimah

The photo obviously brings back happy memories:smile:which is great. You look pensive in the photo, but perhaps it was just the anticipation. Angels walk with you and you will see the Nile again:D
HI Q,Thank you for saying that and feeling my words.I was being annoyed by my X husband who was adding to my stress of being on the program, I was wishing at that moment I went there ALONE!:)
