“A story where myth, fantasy, fairy tale, or science fiction explore and ask questions moves beyond pragmatic dailiness to wonder. Rather than taking the child away from the real world, such stories are preparation for living in the real world with courage and expectancy. A child who has been denied imaginative literature is likely to have far more difficulty in understanding cellular biology or post-Newtonian physics than the child whose imagination has already been stretched by reading fantasy and science fiction.”

“[Silent Messages] I’ve lost track of all the times I have passed by married couples or lovers Dinning at fancy upscale restaurants in foreign cities When the woman sitting across the table from her lover Gives me that quick look Conveying in a painful silence That she no longer loves him, That she wishes she were elsewhere… And each time, I respond with an equally silent look: Why are you there? Why don’t you turn this dinner table of triviality on him, And on everything that happened and is happening And just walk away? [Original poem published in Arabic on November 8, 2022 at ahewar.org]”

“Personal Transformation is so much personal. You shouldn't talk about it with anyone. You must remain absent while remaining present till you are ready. Those around you will comment, criticize, and conspire to create obstacles in the process, because, as I said in Relashuns to Relashines, in your light their own shadows will Scare them. If they are not able to stop you, then they will go away. Have the strength to stay with yourself. You will achieve. It is not difficult. Trust yourself. Ah, it is such a beautiful journey without going anywhere else. Staying where you are, doing what you are required to do and do you must.”
