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 ... " ـ

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.

A blank mind !!

when do we get this Blaaaaank Mind !? i think it's when we're at the extremes,when we're extremely happy and won't find enough words to express the feeling,when we're extremely sad and not a single word or tear will say how much we're really sorry,when we're extremely mad and not the loudest scream or yell will be enough to express the anger,when we're extremely shocked by someone's words or acts , specially someone we once trusted,when we're extremely focused in one thought and we can't think in any other thing,when we're extremely hesitated to say the actual words in our minds and we can't think in any other substitute word.
Sometimes this is the best thing that could happen at the moment and sometimes this is the worst. I hated some moments when i went totaly blank and i still do hate them, and i think i'm glad i went blank at some other moments . i've seen some friends go blank for the extreme of the moment and i pitied them , i've seen some friends go blank and i envied them :)
