.. And the year has passed.. Written by.. Sherine Abu Amira.. ومر العام. بقلم.. شيرين ابو عميره
And the year has passed.............and the year has passed. Between a sigh, between a tear and a laugh, between a word and a silence, between a bow and a prostration, between a sin and repentance, between a meeting. And parting is attached to all the roads, a path from its promise, and the window of life is ajar, and he opened the hookah on the morning, and the sun of the unseen whispers, and life outside is your lot, where do you not know, and where are you going that you do not understand? Neither the day we came as we responded nor did we come on the day we returned. We walked in it on our heels and slung it on our shoulders and our shawl with our palms, and we count it and occupy our thoughts with it, and we go on. It is as it is and always. For whom do we bid farewell to a year with people who have passed away and welcome people who are coming on the paws of life? We are beginning to wonder at its affairs a lot, and despite its pain, we thank God and are alive, and we will spread our stones for tomorrow and a new year in which we will find satisfaction. To the praiseworthy, Sherine Abu Amira. May you always be well and happy.
