Love For All
My grandson James, the horseman in the picture, loves animals of any kind. He knows most of their names. He learned to imitate their sounds before he learned to utter a word. Where did he get this love from? Whatever answer we give to this question, that is, if we say, for example: “from the ...
Read moreLebanese Creativity on AGT
I followed, with interest and joy, some of those who encouraged us to vote for the "Mayyas" group in its competition in the semi-finals of the talent show: AGT.

My friend, the sun, is distinguished in all that it offers me every day. I know it is one with all. Nevertheless, I like to confess my love for what it does to me. When it reveals its face early in the morning, it passes by my room. It does not break into it by ...

I contend that I got to know what appeals to you. With what I write to you, I see that most of you take a liking to what I reveal of matters that pertain to me or what stories or impressions I tell or intimate discourses I write. What strikes me is that most of ...
