my poem 2009
By: Ahmad Qadra
Translated by: Khaloud Almuttalibi
My poem is
A dove
with one wing
It sprinkles the ashes of the heart
on torn off limbs
......
My poem is
An an amputated hand
With its finger holding on
To the engagement ring
....
My poem is
A bloody lily
groomed and brightened
While being thrown at the coffin
My poem is
Severed limbs
Divided by shells
On the childrens' seats and notebooks of
A school belonging to the UNRWA
My poem is
The eyes of three hundred million
The tears of three hundred million
And the fingers of three hundred million
Waiting to press the trigger
My poem is
A child trying to light
A match
A poem rolled in TNT
On the river Nile
...
My poem is
A swallow with small tearful eyes
Not from the cold
...
My poem is
A missile that has not yet launched
And red circles on the pillows of the quivering
...
My poem is a smashed skull
A plant that digs tunnels
On the stone
....
My poem is
Beautiful Palestine
Divided as the leaves of basil
Amongst the raining clouds

> I would like to welcome everyone to the Spiritual Fasting Group starting on 11th of January for at least 21 days. Fasting is very powerful to bring forth things in your life that are positive and remove anything that is negative. Fasting purifies the spirit and enhance the mind and body to a healthier life. See below:
>
> Know that all human hearts are welcome here, regardless of one's color, creed, condition or philosophy, because everyone is just like you and me--wanting happiness, and disliking suffering. In other words, seeking joy and freedom from suffering is the birthright of all living beings (not just us humans).
>
> The word 'spiritual' has many connotations, but all of us who've done prolonged, skillful fasting know our mind is clearer, sharper and more efficient--a greater clarity of consciousness. By using this fasting-enhanced clarity, our journey into the human interior can reward us with many essential correctives to the extreme materialism of our external culture and its dominant sciences. Also, just as our own inner-mind becomes clearer, our own extrasensory instinct becomes keener. Thus, we find ourselves more in tune with the gentle voice of Nature and its Natural Laws. And so, the increase in energy prolonged fasting confers is our own reward for getting back in touch with these so-called Laws of Nature.

News: Wars and rumors of Wars around the world, Palestinians and Jews are being murdered, Poverty, Environment dying, Fla. woman likely jumped overboard (suicide), In Phila. 6 dead and 3 wounded (violence), Cheyenee, Wyo earthquakes 3 days straight, China border 3 tremors Dec. 27th and In May 80,000 people killed from earthquakes and more. It is imperative that we fast and ask for the relief of suffering around the world. What affects one affects all!!!!! If need advice on how to fast, please ask at anytime-we have a teacher to teach us.
Much Metta,
Humanity Healing Team
