Day Two Hundred Fifteen, August 25, 2011
‘Summer rain’, so many songs are written about, movies, books, plays… I never new summer rain till I left Lebanon for New York, because back home, it never rains in the hot months. And we used to hear of this strange phenomenon as children and think “how exotic! Maybe one day we can witness it…

Day Fifty Eight, March 21, 2011
It is rare and precious when we are able to pause all the noise, to push back all the pressures, to move away all the smoke screens and be able for just a brief moment to receive clarity.

Day Fifty Six, March 19, 2011
It was one of those days in Shanghai where the rain drizzles on and on in a steady lazy rhythm. We took the long slow drive to the airport and ended up both sleeping on the way, her with her music, me with the hum of the car engine and the gentle tapping of the…
