And the other one? The other one is my cello.





I listen to her music night after night. Languid and dreamy. Reluctant to please, but pleases to the very soul.

Her music flows down my hills, like a lazy, lazy melody on a still Beiruty night… atonal, confusing, then rhythmic and enchanting… She enthralled my heart and will never give it back. I love her. And she loves me.

Today, she’s happy.
She sits on the balcony, sips her coffee and embraces the sea with a gaze. She plays her music. Her lazy, lazy music. I see a smirk on her lips. She is content. She knows life now. She knows how to play, and she’s ready to strike another game.

Ghassan, I just discovered your blog. For a long time you would comment but there was nothing on the way back to your profile. I am especially glad you're not blogging politics. Your writing is beautiful. I will be back often.
