A letter from Syria

My beautiful Fatimah,

It is said the great essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love

and something to hope for.It is my great happiness to find opportunity to write to you,

hoping you this finds you and your family in the best of health and good cheer.

Even When our arms can’t reach people who are close to our heart, we can always hug them

with our thoughts and prayers. Because All The World is meaningless without kind feelings

and Love.

The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity and emotional authenticity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people.

The radiant sun is nothing but a big ball of fire that hovers above us.If not for love and the life she brings to creatures on earth,what could the sunrise mean?

And yet with love,even a candy wrapper can be put in a special golden box,

even a torn ticket can be held with the highest regard.

It is because our loved ones walked these streets,that we come back here again

and again.If anything is of much value,spend time and effort to care for it and

nothing is of greater importance than our bond with the people we love.

As for me I am fine .I don’t wanna bother you with details But Still painful stories here

are the same .There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity. only a relentless cultivation

of our ability to dream, to analyse and to captivate can prevent our personality from degenerating into nothing or else into a personality like all the rest.We must don’t let

people pull us into their storm but we pull them into our peace.

In the end If we cannot show a picture of life in which even pain, hardship and

death are meaningful and belong to a larger whole, then we cannot rehabilitate

human existence.

Rumi once said”If in thirst you drink water from a cup, you see God in it.

Those are not in love with God will see only their own face in it”

Stupid dictatorships and ruthless fanatics and their alliances in my country and in

the entire region don’t see in others supposed their fellow citizens even their own

faces ,their human attributs. The result :entire societies are collapsing, cities fully

destroyed and religiously cleansed. Personaly that what I expect along ago from

combination of fanatiscism and dictatorship.We can’t harvest grapes from a thorn

bush and figs aren’t found on thistle weed “Jesus said.

I heard the news that winter storm hit parts of northeast of america with heavey snow.

I don’t know if the storm hits your home state.I hope you are safe and please be carful in traffic.

Also a month ago my country hits by heaviest snowfall in decades and the world became

suddenly quiet, subdued and fragile, until the neighborhood children came out to break

the stillness with their tracks and shouts and joy. I remembered such days from my own

childhood in the mountains.The world, for a few short hours, transformed.

I let you in the arms of the angels.

With Hug & love

Mohamed
