#18: Condolences, enjoy NOW, Yallah!
My Brother/Sister
May i pause and share with you our upmost #condolences.
1) “Dead People are INVISIBLE they are NOT absent”/” Les morts sont invisibles, ils ne sont pas absents”
I came across a quote about several years ago and I am still living the power of it.
It is from Saint Augustin Of Hippo whom I read and feel I grow from one page to the next.
Also a good time to re-read about one of the wisest (#Algerian) in this time of religious global tension (#IAmRacistAgainstRacists)
2) LOVE beats DEATH:
Using your hearing sense, #CharlesAznavour, French Armenian immigrant:
“PARCE QUE TU CROIS” Mr Charles Aznavour: "Car la mort n’est qu’un jeu comparée à l’amour", "For death is only a game when compared to love". (French Lyrics).
Outside the context of this love song, my interpretation is that the love you exchanged with your parents, wife, kids is the real treasure that so many people around us never had the chance to experience for various reasons. In this context, death, as late as god decides upon us, is nothing compared to love. Thanks in Armenian “շնորհակալություն shnorhakalut’yun”
3) MEDIATATE TO APPRECIATE THE POWER Of NOW:
Stay strong and continue enjoy the soul of your lost one.
NOW it hurts but he/she is still next to you contributing to the future of this planet starting from you and the other seeds he/she planted along the way. He/she is next to you and his/her soul continues to monitor you steps with pride. Available resources range from #EckhartTolle, #JonKabatZinn, #Sadhguru, #Mooji

Story from Togo, Africa:
“When you loose someone, you are face to a mountain. It is imposed to you. You then have to climb it. As you climb, look back, look around. You will have a new perspective on life. Elevate your appreciation of live. This is life. This makes you grow, appreciate, accept” Jude Osey Do Emmanuel Parfait
Death is Nothing, — Canon Scott Holland (1847–1918)
That we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes We enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me,
Let my name be ever the household word that It always was.
Let it be spoken without effort,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am Out of sight? I am but waiting for you For an interval Somewhere very near Just around the corner.
All is well.
Hermann Hesse
"A chaque appel de la vie, le coeur doit savoir dire adieu et tout recommencer pour constituer des liens nouveaux, différents "
Bible 1 Thessalonians
“Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope”.
Formidable persons I got to meet in my life:

- Moheb Zaki Elias (my dad)
- Father Nabil Wastin Ablahad (Irak Aramenan Syriak Priest)

“Un vieillard qui meurt, c’est une bibliothèque qui brûle /
Un old man who dies is a library who burns”
Le Petit Prince, — Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux /
Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
“How Do I Say Goodbye” — By Dean Lewis.
But of course there is… To a child love is spelt T.I.M.E!
