“إننا نهاب جداً فكرة موتنا، ولهذا نحاول دائماً إيجاد الأعذار للموتى، وكأننا نطلب مسبقاً أن نُعذر عندما يحين دورنا.”

“I did not know the work of mourning
Is like carrying a bag of cement
Up a mountain at night
The mountaintop is not in sight
Because there is no mountaintop
Poor Sisyphus grief
I did not know I would struggle
Through a ragged underbrush
Without an upward path
...
Look closely and you will see
Almost everyone carrying bags
Of cement on their shoulders
That’s why it takes courage
To get out of bed in the morning
And climb into the day.”
― Gabriel: A Poem
