A Special Message
A Personal Note
I do not like to get personal, meaning I don’t like to talk about the stuff closest to my heart. Well because I have found that the nature of the world is to sully whatever beautiful things manifests itself. In Islam or more particular in Sufism there is a mystical tradition that ascribe 99 characteristics to God, the Most high (ironically not Spliff Star). One of these attribute al -mussawwir means shaper of things with beauty, please forgive my arabic transliteral spelling. I have despite the pain and suffering found and immense beauty in life, and I stay silent about it because that is the only true language to express sublime beauty – words will be are an imperfect substitute. If you want to know a person, or get a real good sense of them look at the things they don’t talk about. Ill keep it short, but ultimately as Roland Barthes said, the image has the last words. So I give to you 2 images:
Pic#1 – My Sister told Me to pretend to be constipated while I took this picture with my mom, and my mom looks down in disgust but she wants to laugh

Your mom is a looker. Sure you weren’t adopted, my pal? 😀
Seriously, she has done a splendid job in raising a fine young man that you are. You do owe her that huge.
Constipated, yeah. You still looked glamorous though. 🙂 Wonderful shot actually.
You forgot to greet me yesterday but the salutatory message above is enough. Cute and funny. I like it.
