ـ "... إن فى الإنسان منطقة عجيبة سحيقة لا تصل إليها الفضيلة ولا الرذيلة ، ولا تشع فيها شمس العقل والإرادة ، ولا ينطق لسان المنطق ، ولا تطاع القوانين والأوضاع ، ولا تتداول فيها لغة أو تستخدم كلمة ... إنما هى مملكة نائية عن عالم الألفاظ والمعاني ... كل مافيها شفاف هفاف يأتي بالأعاجيب فى طرفة عين ... يكفي أن ترن فى أرجائها نبرة ، أو تبرق لمحة ، أو ينشر شذا عطر ، حتى يتصاعد من أعماقها فى لحظة من الإحساسات والصور والذكريات ، ما يهز كياننا ويفتح نفوسنا على أشياء لا قبل لنا بوصفها ، ولا بتجسيدها ، ولو لجأ إلى أدق العبارات و أبرع اللغات ...

توفيق الحكيم

Within man lies a deep wondrous spot, to which neither virtue nor vice can reach. Upon which the sun of reason and will never rise. In which the mouth of logic never speaks, the laws and rules are never obeyed, and not a language is used nor a word is ever spoken.
It is a distant Kingdom, beyond words and meanings. With everything is a sheer murmur offering wonders in a blink. From the depths of which, suffice a single tone or a flash of mind or a scent of a perfum, to allow rise of emotions, pictures and memories, a rising that will shake our being and open ourselves to things we can neither describe nor materialize even if we used the most refined of phrases or the most skillful of languages.

Tawfiq Al-Hakim.

Words

Talk, in ever lasting words, and dedicate them all, to me, and I, will give you all my life, i'm here if you should call to me, you think, that I don't even mean, a single word I say, it's only words,and words are all I have, to take your heart away ...

Well , they are not "only words". Words are a very powerful thing .Even In the Beginning was the "Word".
For the past 4 days i couldn't decide how to start the blog in the new year ,and then this word came , an extinct word - unfortunatly - Gratitude. Not alot of people now feel the need for this word .In fact ,for them, this word doesn't even exist at all .That really hurts !!
So , Gratitude gave me the lead to the first post in 2007 :) words that make a difference . and i couldn't say it better than this Dalida' song

Little words have so much meaning
When you mean the words you say
Little words like glad to see you
How are you, hello good day
Little words that make you welcome
Little words that say goodbye
Little words that help you laughing
Little words that make you cry
There are words for all occasions
Words for all you say and do
But the grestest words of all Are
I love you
Little words have so much meaning
When you mean the words you say
Little words like glad to see you
How are you, hello, good day
Little words like happy birthday
Happy anniversary
Little words like how I miss you
Words like hurry back to me
Little words like god be with you
In all you say and do
But I know I'll never find the words for you
Little words have so much meaning
When you mean the words you say
Little words like it's a pleasure
To be here with you today
Little words called silly querells
And the sunshine turns to rain
But the words like sorry darling
Help you to give up again
There are words for all occasions
Words for all you say and do
But the greatest words of all are
I love you
la, la, la la, la, la...
