Graffiti of Life

This is to thank every single person who to took part in putting the million meaningful words into a thousand artistic pictures drawn on the walls for everyone to see, enjoy and reflect on. This to thank every person who  kept our martyrs, our angels of hope, alive with us. Every person who had reminded us everyday of the evilness of Mubarak and that the Tantawi, Shafiq and Moussa are just the other face of the same coin. Every person who showed us how Mother Isis always sent inspiration, will and wisdom to her children and always will. Every person who had given us a part of Harara's vision that he lost his eyes for. Every person who showed us the pigeons that carried the turtles to revolution and freedom. Every person who was able to see through every wall and break it without moving it. Every person who fought stereotyping. Every person who was aware of other people's problems of even being unable to cook. Every person who saw revolution in the eyes of all different types of people.  Every person who showed us the real meaning of the elections, who showed us who are the puppets and who is the puppeteer. Every person who asked WHY? when everyone else was silenced. Every person who made us laugh in the worst of times. Every person who reminded us of the mothers of the martyrs and how they feel. Every person who was able to break the cells of all the detainees. Every person who made us believe that after the worst thunderstorm a rainbow will be born and the sun will shine again.

The Legend of Osiris, Moral of the Legend

Image
First let me say that most of the extraction of lessons in this post isn't done by me, but by the person who has opened my eyes to the beautiful myth. Yet I also have to say that when I did my own research, and read it from different sources, I found even more lessons to learn. And that's the beauty of it, with every time you read it you learn something new. So to the moral of the Myth of Osiris.... It's clear that the fight between Horus and Seth is a fight between good and evil, between what's rightful and what's wrong, between what's true and what's fake. Horus had an intelligent mind that lead him to fight for the truth. Seth had an intellect mind that made him able to give excuses for his helpers, to brainwash them, or to give them fake reason to fight his fake war. Horus, with the wisdom of his mother and a father who holds the truth had the sharp vision of a hawk. But what is vision to our ancestors? What is the eye of Horus? What does it stand for...

Egypt Uprising 2013: One Last Push

June 29, 2013 Tamarod Tamarod (Rebel), the public movement that has been collecting signatures for the past two months to call for early presidential elections with the aim of finding a legal way to topple President Mohamed Morsi, announced the final signature count in a press conference this morning. The number announced was 22,134,465 signatures. Mahmoud Badr, the movement's founder, made a call for more than 22 million people to join the protests tomorrow and stay in the streets until they bring Morsi down. He also announced that the president's legitimacy has fallen after they've collected a number of signatures th at is more than 85% of the number of voters in the presidential elections. Badr answered those who question the number by demanding early elections, saying that this was the only way to prove the accuracy of either of their numbers. The announcement was met with celebratory reactions among many Egyptians...   Support Since April 6 movement...

Who Voted for Shafiq?

After standing in a line with the Heliopolis ladies who were mostly voting for Shafiq, I came back home wondering why would anyone do such thing? The most popular answer I got from the ladies was in fear of Ikhwan. Knowing that the percentage of Christians here is more than in other places, and knowing that us, the ladies of Heliopolis, can never live the life of Ikhwan with what Azza El Garf says about FGM and sexual harassment laws, with forcing us to wear or not wear something (even the veiled of us), with having men control our lives, with having someone control our religious practices it makes sense to be against Ikhwan. And being one of those ladies, I too am against Ikhwan and anyone who mixes religion with politics. Now this takes out Morsy (although I know a few who voted for him), and maybe Abo El Fotooh for some. So then I asked why not Sabahy? And they were all against him because of being a Nasserist because they're families were put under great harm because of nationa...
