Jounieh City and The Mediterranean

            While you hear the sound of bombs in the near distance, this sunset over this ancient and amazing city, give the feeling of peace, yet there is hardly peace for this region!

People need to work their difference and enjoy the Land Lord earth gifts and its beauties in peace!

“It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.

She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.

And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.

But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.

Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.

The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean.”

— Fear, by Khalil Gibran

Even today Gibran's words echo deep into our current situation. The river is us, Lebanese, Israelis, Palestinians, Syrians, other people in that region, and the ocean is peace!
