بالعكس، من يفعل ذلك له عليّ أن أسلّمه وعيي وعواطفي وعلمي بتمثيله لأن ذلك هو ضمن ما يطلقون عليه اسم "فن"، وهو جديرٌ بالإحترام لأسباب لا حصر لها ولا أعتقد أنني اعرفها كلها أصلاً&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"هذا اسمه "فنّ"، وأنا اقصد "الغش&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;أعتقد أن كلمة مثل "الغش" كانت يجب أن تتألّف من حروف كثيرة تعكس الكذب واللؤم والشرّ في معنى الكلمة، و&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;ليس &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;في بالي اسم بديل الآن &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;إلاّ أنني

جائزة الأوسكار لإبداعهم وتفوّقهم على أنفسهم في أن يكونوا أناساً آخرين. وقد لا تقف الحكاية هنا، لأنهم قد يستعملون هذه الموهبة الفذّة في إحلال الأذى على العبيد&lt;br /&gt;.أمّا المشكلة الأكبرفهي أنني قد غيّرت أسلوبي في التعاطي مع هؤلاء&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.قرّرت منازلتهم بنفس الأسلوب&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;في زمن الخوالي، كنت إذا اكتشفت "موهبة" أحدهم، أنسحب من الإحتكاك اليومي إن كان هذا الخيار موجوداً، وأتجنّب كلّ ما كان بوسعي تجنّبه&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;لكن الآن، فإنني أدرس احتمالات ردّ فعلٍ آخر. من يمثّل أمامي، ربّما يجب عليّ أن أمثّل أمامه أيضا، وأن أريه وجهاً مرسوماً، مطليّ بمساحيق التجميل، بالفون دو تان، وظلال الأعين، والماسكارا والبودرة وحمرة الشفاه&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;.وشيء من البريق&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.أعرف

اصبح مثلهم؟&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;أم أنني يجب أن أكون نفسي مهما كانت الأسباب ومهما كانت العواقب...كان لكلمة الكاتب الكبيركامل

Hope so….whoever gets to leave this country should just evacuate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I’m glad that you got to see this bright touristic face of Lebanon, the happy country with all sorts of

type='text'>زيارات، صبحيّات، مَسَويّات</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;غريبٌ أمري عندما ألتقي بتلك السّيدة، أو بالأحرى عندما تأتي هي لتزورني في بيتي...هي عجوز تأتي عادة ً بثيابٍ رثـّة، ليس لأنها لا تملك مالا تشتري به ما راق لها من الثياب، ولكن لأنّها تقصد ان تختار ثياباً قديمة، للزمن بصمته الواضحة عليها، بالألوان الباهتة. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;ومن الواضح أنها ليست مهتمة بالإغتسال، لأنني أتنفس بصعوبة أثناء وجودها&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffffff;"&gt;....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;غير أن هذه التفاصيل تظلّ غير مهمّة قياساً إلى شيء آخر، هو بالضبط ما لا أجد منه مهرباً&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;إنّها النظرات. نظرةٌ مركّزة تنهمر عليّ كالسيف، من دون كلام. نظرة تقول كلّ شيء في حدّتها، وتظلّ تقول بلا ملل، حتى عندما لا تريد النّظر إلي فتنقل نظرتها إلى آخر نقطة في آخر سطرٍ من البحر. لا أعرف ما أفعل حيالها، تحملني مشاعري بكل تناقضاتها من الشّفقة إلى السّؤال، ومن الألم إلى الكره، ومن محاولات التذكّر، إلى محاولات النسيان، من الإنتقام إلى الغفران&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;وبالمقابل، هناك سيّدة أخرى، بالغة الأناقة، تفوح منها رائحة أفخم العطور، لها ابتسامة لا تفارقها، وهي دائمة الزيارة أيضاً. حديثها مسلّ ٍ ومملّ في آن ٍ معاً، لأنها مهتمّة فقط بذكرياتها الوردية وبما اكتنزته عن طفولتها، وبالتالي قد حفظت حديثها وأستطيع استعلدته بتفاصيله. ومع أنني أحبّ ابتسامتها المستمرّة، إلاّ أنني لا أفهم معنى أن تبتسم هذه الإنسانة بلا سبب، بل ولا تراعي الموقف إن كان يستدعي غير ذلك. ربما لهذا السبب كانت تسمية "الإبتسامة البلهاء". لا أنكر أنها تحملني مرّات إلى عالمٍ لطالما أحببته، عالم البراءة والطفولة اللامتناهية، عالم كنت أقرأ عنه وفيه، كمسلسلات الأطفال التي كنا نشاهدها في الزمن الغابر، أتذكرون؟ لولو وطبّوش، زينة ونحّول، ريمي، غريندايزر، جونغار، سانديبل، إلخ...لا أنكر أنها تسحرني بكمّ الذكريات، لكنني أرفضها&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ما تراني أفعل مع هاتين السّيدتين؟؟ الأولى هي كلّ ما مضى ببشاعته،هي كلّ ما حصل ولم يحصل، الفرص التي أتت والأخرى التي سمحتُ لها شخصيّاً بالذهاب. والثانية هي كلّ ما مضى بجماله، هي سحر الماضي الذي أصبح حلماً جميلاً،هي الرّحم المريح، حيث كل شيء معلوم، مفهوم، وجميل، وهي أيضاً نصف الحلم الذي لم يكتمل وما زال يبتدي حكايته علّه يقترب من الحقيقة وينسى أنه مجبول بزمنٍ آخر، ولكن&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ولكن من يرضى ان يعيش في الأحلام؟&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

She would have found it easy to give a hug to a stranger simply because the stranger might have looked rather sad. She was no angel, certainly, but she had compassion. It was enough for her to have compassion with a strong probability and capability to do something about it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Her family, needless to say, was a priority.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Heading to work, her colleagues had a similar treatment. Still no angel, she made mistakes, they made mistakes, but she considered them a second family; after all, they spent multiple hours with each other, hours that culminated to weeks, months, years. How could she not love them, defend them, listen to them, and simply, be there when she was needed? How could she not see them in the best light possible?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;But life is, after all, just life. It bites, then glitters, enchants, and then crushes again; life does come to a point to bite her finger, using the beloved people as the great tools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And now it's not the question of why. She plays no victim roles. She has the eye to accept and analyze. But damaged she is, no question about it. Once something is broken, the scattered pieces will take time to rejoin, if ever. And more, the fear that she might have done the same damage to someone else, without her knowing, kills her. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Sure, there is no time for falling apart, but sure too, she wants to be herself again. She wants to give people a hug again, only that she can't give hugs anymore to humans that might not be deserving, to real strangers, strangers who could bite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;She wants her rosy world back, knowing very well that the color she gave it is just a mix of her own doing. But perhaps rosy isn't rosy unless you mix some red blood and white snow in it. Maybe 'rosy' is a true thing, joining the opposites together. The pain and the peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;She wants to smile at people who have caused the hurt, without forcing the smile. Or thinking in good intentions about them, without any pretension. She wants to leave the bitterness alone, if only possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And in an instant she remembers, that if this is not the challenge, then nothing is. She remembers a saying that she admires, that explains, among other quotes, how it is the same with everybody. And how it should be. A saying that helps her get through the days ahead, fly over the bitterness while building wings, on the way down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down." ~ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/r/raybradbur122053.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Ray Bradbury&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27149819-114772198773513230?l=unrulyspring.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unrulyspring.blogspot.com/feeds/114772198773513230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27149819&amp;postID=114772198773513230' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27149819/posts/default/114772198773513230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27149819/posts/default/114772198773513230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unrulyspring.blogspot.com/2006/05/la-vie-en-rose-and-hug.html' title='&quot;La Vie en Rose&quot; and a Hug'/><author><name>Unruly Spring</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08688617911298104355</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://p.vtourist.com/2097196-LEBANESE_FLAG_ON_OUR_WAY-Lebanon.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27149819.post-114738179039686251</id><published>2006-05-12T00:05:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2006-05-13T22:17:29.153+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Quote of the Day  (easier said than done!)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;" Go to the truth beyond the mind.
