FAREWELL
I've got to say "farewell"
For now, I'm happy to tell.
This is my ultimate goodbye.
Not a single drop of tear to cry.
Farewell to you, the old "me!"
Elated like winning a prix.
Call of a grandeur awakening,
To a better self, I am becoming.
Life of anxieties and melancholy,
Recreated into joy and serenity.
Life of fear and loneliness,
Now filled with love and happiness.
Drowned into the waters of desperation,
Now facing the beauty with sheer admiration.
It is my time to shine and rejoice
For in my life, this is my best choice!
Farewell to the self of my yesterdays,
Know the new me without overlays.
See the most beautiful transformation,
Richly deserving great felicitation.
Leaving behind cynicism, be shunned
As the days roll by and quickly spun
It's a day to wear my heart on my sleeve,
I am at my best, trust and believe!

and occupations to keep traditions unaltered.

Sometimes you wake up and you find no strength to come out of the bed
Believe me
You are not the only one
Sometimes you see the past.
You see the present
And you just wonder
What have I done all those years
Believe me
Many people had the same question
You look yourself in the mirror and you like nothing
But this is a reaction of 90% of people
That is life
We called life
A beautiful miracle
And day and night
Is coming and go
Go out
See the sun
Have a great day
Walk to the sea
Think positive
You decide if you will be happy or sad
You decide only
Life is for everyone
We don’t have any manual
How to live
How to succeed
We fight everyday
And if we find love in this journey
Then we can consider ourselves as lucky
Keep dreaming
Keep believing
Miracles happens
…….
Peace,
So expensive
We buy so many weapons
To maintain it
If we pray more
If we were kind to each other
We could say
We have Peace of mind
Poetic heart
Call for meditation
Inside our heart
Peace,
We say a lot
We make nothing
Peace,
Such as a woman
We adore
But few can get
Peace,
A value with no cost
If the humans understand the word…
I wish one day….
Nothing
Nothing belongs to us
We are free
We are the captain of our soul..
Nobody can say this or that and you must execute
.
Nobody belongs to us
We are choosing according our feelings
Our thoughts
Our beliefs
Our stomach
If a person make you laugh
The more u want to be with this person
We are nobody
We are nothing
More than the butterfly
Than the bee…
We are no creators but small ants
Or cigals
Or wolves
Show respect
Kindness
But no trust
Trust your instinct
Trust your heart
We are nothing more than a fly
We are nothing more than a bird
Laugh to your heart
Love your inner soul
And put your frequency high
Touch the stars
Make a wish
Stay a happy child

PhD Ahmed Elsersawy: A Political Writer passionate about Culture like a Bridge among Nations
PhD Ahmed Elsersawy, born in Egypt in the mid-1960s, has spent much of his life traveling across continents as a war correspondent. Though he studied economics at university, his professional career has been deeply immersed in arts and culture, which he has always seen as a bridge—one of the shortest and fastest ways to connect people, regardless of their differences.
This “secret blend” of journalism, war coverage, economics, and culture reflects his belief in diversity, acceptance, and humanity’s ability to simply act in their authenticity as human beings and individual uniqueness.
He emphasizes, as he often says, that what matters is where a person ends up, not where they began.
When I asked him to elaborate, he explained that we, as humans, are not responsible for where we are born, our names, or the cultural heritage we carry. However, we are entirely responsible for our beliefs, ideas, and intellect once we mature. This is where the importance of culture and arts lies; they guide a person toward their authentic path and goals, drawing them toward becoming a good human being in the sense defined by the “philosophy of beauty.”
So tells us the Egyptian journalist Ahmed Elsersawy , who works for one of Egypt’s most prestigious and widely circulated media institutions, “Akhbar Al-Youm.” This comes in light of his launch of a new initiative that has resonated widely in Egypt and abroad: “Bridges of the Sea and the Ocean.” The initiative aims to create cultural and artistic bridges connecting the peoples of the Mediterranean (the Sea) with the peoples of the Americas (the Ocean), spanning the Atlantic and Pacific.
To this purpose he has identified the new SF Mayor Daniel Lurie and Hon. Angela Alioto, a Californian of Italian origin as agents for the plan “Bridges of the Sea and the Ocean” creating a strong cultural, artistic and social cooperation and twinning between SF and its ethnic groups as Asians, Latinos , Italians etc., Rome as center of the Mediterranean and Cairo, the door to the East.
Elsersawy intends to officially invite the SF Mayor Daniel Lurie and Hon. Angela Alioto to Egypt to create solid synergies with Californian universities and strengthen the cinematographic bridge between the Arab world and California, highlighting the documentary aspect to promote cultural exchanges.
And we come to religious dialogue, which is fundamental to achieving goals of peace.
To this end, not only is special attention given to the Franciscans in Egypt and to the city of SF founded by the Franciscan missions, but a recent Arabic-to-Italian and English translation of one of his most significant works, a book about Pope Shenouda III (1923–2012), the Coptic Orthodox Patriarch of Egypt, is in preparation. Pope Shenouda III is considered one of the greatest patriarchs in the nearly 2,000-year history of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
The book is planned to be presented at the Egyptian Academy of Rome, directed by Dr. Rania Yahya and in SF and LA .
Among Elsersawy’s six published works, this particular book stands out for reflecting his unique vision and strong enthusiasm for diversity, embracing differences, and accepting the “other.” A Muslim writer documenting the “genius of the 117th Patriarch in the history of the Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church,” Elsersawy approached Pope Shenouda not as a clergyman but as a leader who witnessed Egypt’s societal, political, security, and economic changes over eight decades. He tells the story of the Pope’s life through the lens of these transformations and their impact.
In addition to this fascinating book, Al-Sarsawi is currently working on a Ph.D. in International Media. He has also authored a book about Egypt’s war in October 1973, a short story collection published in Beirut, and a memoir about his work as a military correspondent, covering wars in Kosovo (1999), Ethiopia and Eritrea (2000), and several Middle Eastern conflicts from 2005 to the present.
Moreover, Elsersawy is a former press advisor to the Egyptian government, a screenwriter, and a documentary filmmaker. Influenced by prominent Egyptian writers like the Nobel Prize Naguib Mahfouz, Ihsan Abdel Quddous, and Abbas Al-Akkad, Elsersawy is currently training aspiring documentary filmmakers in the Gulf and North Africa to prepare a new generation capable of competing at international festivals.
It is said that those who have the gift of procreation are granted
the divine right to be a mother.
It is said that he is a being who gives everything
To concepts where love is circular
To wakefulness, tears, joys
and with greater audacity of great courage and courage to contain
To maintain
Want unconditionally, stripping time to deposit it in you.
It is said that it comes from the Latin mater
and this becomes a significant meaning
Matrix matter, origin of life
Creation
Evolution
To endless history perpetuating the species,
Infinite energy mamma amma nutricia…
so many definitions and interpretations
and in the facts… near or far are these concepts…
Mother
Understand
That from my location of receiving desire
fervently keep yourself for yourself,
collect from life and your progeny the laughter
and this ups and downs in fruits, sweets, flowers and loves
That you offer yourself to life,
fulfill expectations and
with a rainbow of multiple colors
fly with your dreams and concrete projects
You emit sparkles, sparkles in your beautiful eyes
That you have come to spend
and introject so many lessons learning
and personal value,
limit to so much commitment and responsibility
I tell her
To the good mother
To the one that provides containment, shelter and advice,
which denotes imperfection, chaos and recomposition,
The one who deigns well to love herself,
take care of herself and protect herself
For example, model is what I want
As a mirror to frame, adore
May your days be more than a special day!
Melt into hugs, kisses
and spaces of pure rest to so much effort
Mother present,
In the sky or wherever you are
Understand me:
That I want you free
You to me
Me to you
