The Sky-House
*
What is the bourgeoisie?
Love for empty appearances, ostentation, and obsession with fashion trends,
chasing titles and fame, submitting to public taste,
attempting to affiliate with and imitate the aristocratic class,
inability to break free from the grip of tradition and habit,
fear of opposing public opinion, even when it is wrong,
evaluating individuals based on their wealth,
cowardice in facing responsibility and shifting it onto others,
respecting positions rather than valuing the work itself.
~ “Tales of a Traveler” By Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud

If we survive this century it will only be because you and I refuse to become Nazis.

Everything That Was Broken
Everything that was broken has
forgotten its brokenness. I live
now in a sky-house, through every
window the sun. Also your presence.
Our touching, our stories. Earthy
