Morning Diary Day 12 – Berlin’s Street Art

Tuesday, October 21st 2014

Berlin, Germany

Walk throughout Neukolln neighborhood, visit the open air East Side Gallery with the international street art graffiti, pass by the hackeschen markt and reflect within:

What is life if it wasn’t created for us to sees each other in it. Earth is round for a reason, we each live in the total opposite of one another. We all reflect on each other.. What I see in you I see in me and it is wonderful to experience the warmth of our souls connecting through soil. We are all one united through light thread and spirit. Looking deep into history I resemble repetition in everything only in different uniforms and labels. It is like we live the lives of our ancestors when they lived the lives of our reflectors. Start looking through the eyes of one another as your own reflection, look deep into their souls and realize that in there is the kingdom of treasures. Miracles do happen and wishes come true, but if you don’t put a little effort in there then it is not worth wishing, for nothing is meant to happen effortlessly and nothing requires the whole wide world to change in harmony with your beliefs and thoughts. You alone can set foot, open a new door or fix a broken one. Alone through energies of one another, through the soil that unites our energies, one person can make a difference.

Winter can teach self love, connecting within oneself, and magical formulation of the skin…

Sun…Shine… ☁️ A great feeling when you have been under the rain for few days and you actually reach a certain adaptation to rain even if you are stuck outdoors in a camp you just feel like your skin forms a certain fur that starts to protect you and your body becomes synchronized with your vision to the cloudy feeling that just senses the smell of rain before it falls and you await the rain with welcoming thoughts to nourish the souls and the nature around you and the sound of the wind is what puts you to sleep wrapped around yourself in search of inner warmth and comfort and love. Winter; you teach self love, connecting with self energy and dreams. And when the sun shines your body wants to get out through your skin and reach the rays of the sun for oneness, the joy that every inch of your body feels is like a formulation of separate smiles replacing body joints, and the fur that was formulated on your body feels like it is melting down into your skin that creates gloss and glowing light as if it is coming from within. ⛅️☀Enjoy connecting to the magical nature and magical self, enjoy learning everyday one new thing and enjoy what your day brings forth. Have a wonderful Wednesday wherever you are.

Morning Diary Day 11 – Hello Berlin…

Tuesday, October 7 2014

Berlin – Germany

Finally, I made it. I have always wanted to visit Berlin, the city of everything; culture, history, ruins, hope, hipsters, artists, and what does this city not offer? An identity maybe? My first day was beautiful, you can not pass a day in Berlin without going through and between memorials, ornaments, wide streets and some fun time. It is a chill weather, lots of walking is required or biking, and so much to see.

In few words, Berlin is scattered. In my pictures below, you will see a little bit of Neukolln, Mitte; check point Charlie, memorial wall, jewish museum, and around the victory column area.

All my pictures are taken with a CANON EOS 70D

Your body is a given gem…

Your body is your memorial wall… It’s amazing how we are made, our skin is just like a wearable piece of cloth. Very delicate and fragile, beautiful and sheer. The way you treat it, is marked and the way you serve it, appears. It’s washable, chargeable, it is your body of light. It is truly a gem, a very sensitive valuable piece if gem. And we have to appreciate it, be grateful, and take real good care of it. Our decisions are our responsibility, our actions lead to the consequences that may rise. So today, I will dedicate it to my body, my awareness my gratefulness my admiration will be directed to my given piece of gem. Listen to it, learn how to use it, how to take care of it, how to make sure it lives a healthy happy life from the given nourishment around me. History will always be carved in our bodies as a past and our future is what we long for. Let us make it a shining bright future.

Morning Diary 10 – Frankfurt – Old Encounter

Sunday, October 5 2014

Frankfurt – Germany

When you travel, you travel the world, even if you travel to one place. When you travel, you travel within if you are only aware of everything as if it is not your personal experience but an experience you are only attending. Traveling is your life living only multiplied by hundreds. After 12 years… I have finally made it to Germany, and I was lucky enough to meet my high-school best friend in Frankfurt. A great encounter, a great meet up and catching up after such long time as well as exploring beautiful Frankfurt. A city that is very diverse from modern, to formal, to informal and to lego like. Walk around, check out the center, Romerberg, Zeil street, Sachsenhausen old restaurants, Mainufer river, and the love lock bridge.

And here is a beautiful indie german song. Have a wonderful day, a wonderful holiday and a blessed Eid Mubarak Al Adha for all the ones who are celebrating.

How you can use the power of writing…

Write write write write, if you have the power of letting go by writing then write. Writing can be stress reliving, can be meditative and most importantly can be a way to share with everyone your experience, your thoughts, your peace of mind. Tell those whom you truly love; how much you love them. Express to your self how you feel and tell the world how we are all sharing the same piece of life in just different timings and directions. Writing is the best way to save a memory, to tell someone you love them, and to dig deep in and find out what is really happening within yourself. I am grateful for being capable to write, I am grateful for it’s power, I am grateful for this method. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to the good in this world and to the bad I pray that a miracle shines right at you to make you good.

Can’t live without beautiful print fabrics… From the London Fashion Week SS 2015

We will be seeing lots and lots of prints on fabric season after season. In my favorite looks, I have added the short dresses along with all the beautiful prints that were showcased during the London Fashion Week of the upcoming spring summer 2015. All pictures belong to http://www.style.com

The pants you choose to wear, can say just a little enough about you..

Yes pants are powerful, they give you confidence and freedom. They speak out for you sometimes, they say just a little enough about your personality. The color you choose, the cut, the length, the fabric, the style, the top matched with it and most importantly the way you carry it and sit with it. Yes I believe; pants, are powerful. Here are my favorite pants from the London Fashion Week upcoming spring summer 2015.

Pray a little something for your magical inner self…

There is always magic within… From time to time we can sit, meditate, pray and listen to our inner self speak… How is my “inner self” feeling ? What does my “inner self” has to say. Sit somewhere isolated with the least noise & distraction, close your eyes, say a little prayer and direct your awareness inwards, at this moment do nothing and just listen. Try to isolate your self from your inner self, let your self observe while your inner self express. Stay there as much as you can, try not to judge your inner thoughts or feelings, don’t criticize or look for explanations or reasons… Just let your inner self be. Once your done just rest there, write or let your self express its judgements but don’t get attached to them just learn about your within and without. Most importantly trust that magic happens, that whatever seems to be impossible is only possible when you let go of your old thoughts & beliefs. Just let your self (thoughts & feelings) float across life & let your inner self speak louder for you. Have a beautiful start of the week, a beautiful morning, afternoon & evening. Express your love & learn about the love in everyone else.

Short, long; How do you feel about asymmetric dresses ? What about sheer fabric ?

If you can’t decide then here is a solution, short or long? Why not both at the very same time… Be different, from time to time we need change. So there you go even with your wardrobe you can be creative. There is something about length in the upcoming spring summer 2015 so watch out and don’t keep looking for the usual, go for what is unusual and enjoy the moment. Notice the use of mixed fabrics, where the sheer layers of chiffon or organza just fall beneath the outfit with transparency representing freedom.
