“الإبرة على حدتها
لا قيمة لها بدون خيط ..

والخيط على وهنه
إلا أنه يرقع الثقب !

ومابين الوهن والحدة
[ وخزٌ مؤلم ] !

وبطل الحكاية
رقعة ثوب !”
― عبدالكريم بكار

“لقد كنتُ أحاولُ أن أضع كلَّ شيء ، أن أصلَ إلى النهاية قبل أن يفوت الأوان ، ولكني أدرك الآن كم خدعتُ نفسي .
إن الكلمات لا تسمح بمثل هذه الأشياء . فكلما اقتربتَ من النهاية ، زاد ما ترغب في قوله .
فما النهايةُ إلا وهم، غايةٌ تخترعها لتحثّ نفسك على الاستمرار، ولكن يأتي وقتٌ تدركُ عندَّهُ أنك لن تبلغها أبداً.
رُبما تضطر إلى التوقف، ولكن ذلك فقط لأنه لم يعد يتَوفرُ لديك وقت .. فَتتوقف، ولكن هذا لا يعني أنك وصلتَ إلى النهاية.”
― بول أوستر

“Why Not You?

Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?

Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?

Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?

Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?

Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to free themselves from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you?

Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?

Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?

Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?

Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?

Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?

Today is a new day!

Many will seize this day.

Many will live it to the fullest.

Why not you?”

أتمكَّن من فعل ذلك من جديد. لا أكثر.”
