“Om je heen komt alles tot rust, elk van ons gaat zijn eigen weg, maar we ontmoetten elkaar weer aan zee bij een kalme zonsondergang.”
“Om man tittar runt är alla upptagna med något: någon som fumlar med sina händer, någon som försöker på nytt läsa brevet som de har kommit med till den intagne de besöker - vad som helst för att ta sina sinnen från den stora elefanten i rummet. Den stora, feta, rosa elefanten med orden "kommer aldrig komma ut härifrån" klottrat över hela sig. Vi väntar. Vi har väntat. Vi väntar på nyheterna - att det gick bra och allt kommer bli bra. Vi går till hissen, själlöst fram och tillbaka, osäkra på vart vi ska gå för att vi är fast i denna gudsförgätna kub med ett oändligt antal tankar som galopperar runt i huvudet. Kommer jag att ta hand om honom för resten av mitt liv? Kommer han ens att njuta av sitt liv efter detta? Kommer han att leva för att se en annan dag? Snälla Gud, varför kan inte du svara mig? Dessa tankar värker inombords samtidigt som vi vandrar i korridorerna som leder bort från väntrummet, märker de spruckna väggarna, går förbi papperskorgen som är överfylld med kaffekoppar och tepåsar, och igenom den ändlösa långa korridoren med fångar som sitter i sina små gråa celler.”

“Om met verandering te kunnen omgaan en om zelf te kunnen veranderen is niet zozeer een inspanning nodig, als wel een groot vermogen los te laten. Ieder verandering betekent, alles welbeschouwd, de dood van het oude ik, en wie zonder wrok, spijt of verbetenheid ‘zichzelf’ kan laten gaan, leert dus, in het klein, hoe hij zal moeten sterven. Maar tegelijk leert hij natuurlijk ook, en zelfs in de eerste plaats, hoe hij moet leven. Want wat is leven anders dan het ondergaan – met zwier of met verzet – van een continue reeks van veranderingen? Oefenen in in leven is oefenen in sterven. Leven en dood zijn complementair.”

“Om rubed his head. This wasn't god-like thinking. It seemed simpler when you were up here. It was all a game. You forgot that it wasn't a game down there. People died. Bits got chopped off. We're like eagles up here, he thought. Sometimes we show tortoise how to fly. Then we let go.”

Sarah Herrington shares the wisdom she has gained from her day-to-day experiences, for many years, teaching all ages of children yoga in the New York School system.”
“Om sighed. ‘It’s reasonable, isn’t it? Think about it. The stronger ones hang around the edge, where there’s prey … I mean, people. The weak ones get pushed out to the sandy places, where people hardly ever go—’
‘The strong gods,’ said Brutha, thoughtfully. ‘Gods that know about being strong.’
‘That’s right.’ ‘Not gods that know what it feels like to be weak …’
‘What? They wouldn’t last five minutes. It’s a god-eat-god world.’
‘Perhaps that explains something about the nature of gods. Strength is hereditary. Like sin.”

“Omani frankincense products are more than just fragrant resins — they are a part of Oman’s identity, history, and culture. Grown in the Dhofar region of Salalah, this natural treasure has been traded across the world for thousands of years. Today, modern Oman still honors this tradition by producing luxury Omani incense, frankincense perfumes, gifts and boxes, oud and oils, and musk blends that combine authenticity with modern elegance.
Whether you are looking for a soothing home fragrance, a natural wellness solution, or a meaningful gift, Omani frankincense products bring the soul of Oman right to your home.
What Are Omani Frankincense Products?
From Tree to Treasure
Frankincense comes from the Boswellia Sacra tree, found mainly in Salalah, Dhofar. Harvesters make careful incisions on the tree’s bark and collect the resin once it hardens. The resin is then cleaned, graded (Hojari, Najdi, Shaabi), and packaged for various uses.
A Range of Natural Products
Today, Omani frankincense is available in multiple forms — raw resin, essential oils, perfumes, luxury incense, and even wellness drinks. These products are popular not only in Oman but also in GCC countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.
Popular Omani Frankincense Products
1. Frankincense Resin
The most traditional product — perfect for burning on charcoal or electric burners. It produces a rich, soothing smoke that purifies your space and creates a welcoming atmosphere.
2. Frankincense Perfumes
Omani perfumers combine frankincense essential oil with oud and oils, musk, and floral notes to create unique blends. These perfumes are long-lasting and embody the luxury of Omani tradition.
3. Luxury Omani Incense
Prepared from high-quality resin and natural aromatic ingredients, luxury incense is ideal for special occasions, weddings, and celebrations.
4. Gifts and Boxes
Frankincense is one of Oman’s most cherished gifts. Elegant gift boxes containing resin, perfumes, or burners make perfect souvenirs and presents for family and friends.
5. Oud and Oils
Apart from frankincense, Oman is famous for oud oils and blends that complement frankincense’s unique fragrance.
6. Musk Group & Yeasts
Special Omani mixtures combining musk, frankincense, and natural yeasts create a signature aroma unique to the region.

“Omar doesn't have any children, either. I suppose the land is all we will leave behind. In that way it is both our parents and our children.
The land grows flowers for me to lay at the feet of Mother's grave, there under the big tree. I cut the flowers with scissors and carry them up there, but I am just a medium, a conduit, for that flow. It is really the land that is doing it.”

“Omar explained that Crips was anacronym for Community Revolution in Progress (...) They were first meant to offer guardianship and community to counter crime and violence. (...) Incidentally, the Bloods rose up for the same reason in 1972, except they were meant to provide protection from the Crips. So it was a self-perpetuating cycle of attack and defense.”

“Omar Khayyam sagte, „der Himmel ist die Vision der erfüllten Wünsche; die Hölle ist der Schatten einer Seele in Flammen.“ Die Erfüllung der Wünsche, mögen sie klein sein oder groß, ist der erste Schritt zur Vollkommenheit. Die Nichterfüllung von Wünschen, seien sie hochfliegend oder niedrig, ist ein Rückschritt […] Trägt nicht das Herz das Gute und bringt unsere Wünsche hervor? Wir sehen also, dass unsere Sehnsucht Gottes Sehnsucht ist, und dass der Sinn dieser ganzen Schöpfung in der Erfüllung dieser Sehnsucht liegt. Wie das Vedanta sagt, dieses Leben ist Brahmas Traum. Die kreative Kraft bzw. Macht wünschte, was Brahma wünschte; sie erzeugte, was Er verlangte. Deshalb ist für die Sufis die erste Lektion, durch Konzentration und Meditation zu lernen: dass der eigene Wunsch in Erfüllung gehe […] die gesamte Schöpfung ist das Ergebnis eines Wunsches. Der Sinn der Schöpfung liegt daher in der Erfüllung dieses Wunsches. Dein erster Schritt zur Verwirklichung und zum Erreichen von Zielen, sowohl spiritueller als auch weltlicher Natur sollte es deshalb auch sein, entschlossen das Ziel deines Wunsches zu verfolgen.”

“Omasta mielestäni aidon Lapin raja voitaisiin ajatella olevan Saariselän seutuvilla. Minä erotan siinä erämaa-Lapin ja tunturi-Lapin. Mutta pitäköön lukijani oman Lappinsa ja kulkekoon sen raja hänen mielestään vaikka Oulun seutuvilla, jos kerran hänellä ei ole ollut tilaisuutta käydä pohjoisempana. Toivon mukaan hän voi tarkistaa käsitystään tekemällä matkan todelliseen Lappiin, karuun, mutta kauniiseen, Jumalan ja päätöksentekijäin hylkäämään maakuntaan, jossa väestö luonnon kauneudesta nauttimatta kamppailee ankeissa oloissa jokapäiväisestä leivästään ja elinmahdollisuuksistaan sinnikkäämmin kuin etelän ihminen voi kuvitellakaan.”

“Omawiałam gdzie indziej (Stearns, 1988) użyteczność nadania wysokiej wartości biernej postawie w silnie rozwarstwionym, złożonym społeczeństwie, w którym olbrzymia większość ludzi musi zostać poddana socjalizacji, ązeby stała sięposzłuszna i wyzbyła się inicjatywy. Gdy istnieje taka hierarchia, ci którzy są na górze drabiny społecznej, mogą być nakłaniani do przekształcania smutku w złość (White, 1998). White cytuje europejską opowieść średniowieczną, zalecającą szlachcicowi przekształcenie emocji: "Przestań płakać [...] jeśli jego śmierć budzi twój żal, pomścij ją [...] [obróć ich radość] w żal". (s.141). W XI i XII wieku, kiedy sytuacja w Europie była dość stabilna, złość coraz częściej spostrzegano jako niezbędny przywilej sprawujących władzę, a u niemających władzy uznawano ją za niestosowną i śmieszną (White, 1998; Freedman, 1998; Buhrer-Thierry, 1998). Zatem historycznie rzecz biorąc, w Europie smutek był albo aktywny, albo bierny, zależnie od klasy społecznej, do której należał dany człowiek.”
“Omdat er maar weinig mensen zijn die de liefde durven te omarmen. We iets van onszelf achterhouden, ons nooit durven te tonen aan één persoon; zo ontstaat de vervreemding, de eenzaamheid, gebeurt het dat een deel van ons buiten de deur naar erkenning zoekt.”

“Omdat Vader ongeschoold werk deed en de enige kostwinner was, hadden we het economisch altijd krap, terwijl we zagen dat buren en familieleden die niet werkten of zwartwerkten naast hun uitkering, het net zo goed als wij of zelfs beter hadden. Moeder had van buurvrouwen begrepen dat hun kinderen gratis internet, gratis kleedgeld en zelfs een laptop kregen van de overheid. Hun oudere kinderen kregen studiefinanciering die ze niet hoefden terug te betalen als ze hun diploma haalden, vanwege het lage inkomen van de vader. Ze kregen ook huurtoeslag en zorgtoeslag. Sommigen waren op papier gescheiden, zodat de vrouw extra geld kon vangen vanwege haar alleenstaande moederschap of zoiets. Zo konden ze al hun vaste lasten betalen en op vakantie gaan met het geld van het zwarte werk en zelfs vastgoed kopen in Turkije. Moeder zei geregeld tegen Vader dat het in dit land nog eigenlijk gekkigheid is om als laaggeschoolde nog te werken, gezien het nauwelijks loonde.”

“Omeir shivers inside his oxhide cape and watches the river roar past, full of debris and foam, and remembers how Grandfather would say that the littles streams, high on the mountain, small enough to dam with your hand, would eventually join the river, and that the river, though quick and violent, was but a drop in the eye of the great Ocean that encircles all the lands of the world, and contains every dream everyone has ever dreamed.”

“Omelets are about technique. Now, different people make it different ways, but, if you're a chef in Europe, an omelet has to be cooked on the outside, with just a simmer of color, and the inside has to be soft. It should be cooked like a steak - medium rare.”
“Omelets are not made without breaking eggs.”
“Omelets now or later?" she panted.
"Later than what?" he asked huskily.
"How hungry are you?"

She started unbuttoning his shirt at the top, stopping to admire and touch the soft hair on his chest on the way to the bottom. When she reached the last one, she tugged the tail out from behind his belt, slipped her arms around his body, and laid her cheek against his chest.
"Let's make love and only use words when necessary," she whispered.
"Is that a pickup line" he asked hoarsely.”

“Omenirea era săracă și se hrănea muncind, fără să distrugă bogățiile naturii, stînd la porțile ei cu modestie și fără să se gîndească încă la jaf. Răbdînd de foame putea să hrănească acolo cîțiva prinți și preoți, nu erau prea mulți, și această “nedreptate” socială este neînsemnată, dacă ținem seama de faptul că această diferență era necesară pentru formarea culturii. ... Nici o egalitate nu va înălța catedrale și palate, nu le va picta, nu le va împodobi. ... Din îndestulare se năștea disponibilitatea, din disponibilitate – capacitatea de apreciere, iar din capacitatea de apreciere – nivelul de cultură. În nici un caz invers. Cultura are nevoie de o bază, de bogăție. Nu pentru a satisface cerințele artistului, ci pentru a avea cu adevărat căutare. Este prea tîrziu deja să înțelegem acest rol pasiv, aproape biologic al aristocrației, și atît de evident. Nimănui nu-i trece acum prin cap că un extravagant din fruntea unui mic principat se pricepea pesemne foarte bine la muzică, dacă Haydn sau Bach erau “angajați” la el. Că papa se pricepea la pictură dacă avea de ales între Michelangelo și Rafael. Totuși aceștia erau niște oameni luminați. ... Doar pe seama inegalității sociale s-a perpetuat sensul umanității și posibilitatea ei.”

“Omenirea se apropie de bătrînețe și am ajuns să ne placă tristețea, asemeni unui prieten care a stat foarte mult lîngă noi, în tinerețe, pe cînd eram viguroși și veseli. Ca și marinarii lui Ulysses primeam bucuroși și soarele și tunetul. Sînge roșu curgea în vinele noastre și rîdeam, iar poveștile pe care ni le spuneam erau străbătute de vigoare și speranță. Acum stăm ca bătrînii urmărind cu ochii în flăcări chipurile oamenilor; iar povestirile care ne plac sînt triste, ca poveștile pe care le-am trăit noi înșine.”

“Omens are a language, it's the alphabet we develop to speak to the world's soul, or the universe's, or God's, whatever name you want to give it. Like an alphabet, it is individual, you only learn it by making mistakes, and that keeps you from globalizing the spiritual quest.”
“Omens are everywhere in this world you just have to find the one that fits.”
“Omens are the individual language in which God talks to you. My omens are not your omens.”
“Omens don't influence the eradication of a evil from a society. it's all upto you when YOU want.”
“Omens, stars, roses, seasons, bodies and their most intricate love paths.”
“OMG, did he just sext you?"
Alisha clapped the phone to her chest, as good as clutching pearls. "No!"
"Yeah, right." Simone tilted her head sideways, gold hoops catching the light. "You're guilty as all get-out. What did he send you, a dick pic?"
The waitress sailed up to the table with a wide smile. Alisha slumped down in her seat, resisting the urge to continue the slide until she was hidden underneath the table. "What can I get for you ladies?"
How about two eggs with a side of mortification?
"I'll have an egg white spinach omelet," Simone said, holding loosely clasped hands by her cheek, her upturned face a ringer for a baroque saint. "But better bring my sister a smoothie, because she's so thirsty.”
