Friendship


Friendship


Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance;
they make the latitudes and longitudes.

Strangeness


Strangeness

It is strange that people feel themselves foreigners at their own home
and then find home in exile!

Being


Being

I m God, I’m Creature
Paradise I am Lord and Servant
I am Throne and Trodden Path
Both Hell and Paradise
I am water, I am fire
I am air and naked Earth
I am quantity, I am quality
I am existence and absence
I am substance, I am Appearance
Both the Near and the Far
All dualities are mine:
I am alone, I am individual!

Abdelkader Al Djazairi
