wild freedom.

feel what
we remember
and not just
remember
what we
felt.”

“الذنوب ليست كلها كما تتصور؛ سرقة أو كذب أو أخذ حق .. أحيانا أنت تقصر في حق نفسك فيكون هذا ذنبا، إن لوّثت العالم بمشاعر الحقد والتعاسة والغضب، يكون ذنبا .. إن تِهت بنفسك فخرا وظننت أنك أفضل من الآخرين أو قللت من شأنهم، حتى لو بينك وبين نفسك؛ يكون ذنبا .. إن لم تساعد وأنت تقدر على المساعدة يكون ذنبا .. إن تعلقت بالأسباب ونسيت المُسبب، أو تحرك قلبك لشيء سواه، يكون ذنبا .. الذنوب كثيرة جدا، وغفلتنا عنها في حد ذاتها ذنب يُثقل على أرواحنا فلا تستطيع التنفس!”

“A wound not fully felt consumes from the inside. We must run very hard if we want to stay one step ahead of this pain. Exhausted, we try to bury it with drugs, alcohol, overwork, television, physical activity. We are a very creative species—we can use just about anything to anesthetize ourselves. But in doing so, we also remove ourselves from feeling the joy.”

“Never ever go by the book. They will want you to, but you musn’t. If the lust is too strong, tear one page from a hundred books and make your own way. There is no formula for life, no equation on how to be a human being.”

“There is something beautiful about shyness, even though in our culture shyness is not considered a virtue. On the contrary, we are encouraged to be direct, look people straight in the eyes, tell them what is on our minds, and share our stories without a blush.
But this unflinching soul-baring, confessional attitude quickly becomes boring. It is like trees without shadows. Shy people have long shadows, where they keep much of their beauty hidden from intruders’ eyes. Shy people remind us of the mystery of life that cannot be simply explained or expressed. They invite us to reverent and respectful friendships and to a wordless being together in love.”
