As the DJ in the not too distant horizon takes a breather, let me gather up sufficient silent skill to put in my connect with the familia ! Strange that to connect at times, the benefit of silence becomes so essential. I think it has age old custom and reference too. The Saints and Sadhus and those desirous of mental peace and connect with the Almighty, all went up to the mountains … ‘Closer my God to thee..’ Perhaps the absence of aeroplanes and later space travel, limited their experiences to the closest substitute, and so the mountains.

My connect with the FmXt is nothing short of an act similar to the Saints of yore. If my writing depicts, as has been repeatedly pointed out to me, that I speak with you, then it is important that I be able to hear you as well, and not some distant electronic rave. The rave is good, entertaining, and I am certain accommodative of certain necessities. But not good enough alternative to EF !

Talking of which I must bring to mention here an act of great compassion and love from my dearest EF’s at Dubai, that not only have celebrated an occasion on the completion of certain time limits, but have, I believe pooled in funds to get Reeham out of Egypt for a visit to dubai in this time of stress for her.

What a family we have created, dearest ones and what a marvelous example of all that is good in this world has been demonstrated by those connected. Thank you ! I was filled with incredible emotion as soon as I was given this information and needed to share this with all. Well done Dubai FmXt. You have shown that you are indeed special and considerate and so full of care for fellow human beings.

I need to thank too all those that commented on the previous post about my circumstances and the one example that I used. I think most of you were more concerned with why I should even allow that to take presence in my mind. And why I should not allow such bumps to be taken note of.

I would agree with most and say that I generally do, but the purpose of the reference in the incident was more to bring the issue of … ‘a gentle thought before the conclusion’. To justify that I needed an example. This one was recent and fresh in my mind and so it was referred to. Simple and quite easily done - QED ! the Latin initialism of …quod erat demonstradum !!

AND DAMN DAMN DAMN !!!

WROTE MORE THAN ANOTHER 1000 WORDS AND THE HOTEL INTERNET WENT OFF … EVETY THING DESTROYED !! SO UPSET ! I WILL NOT RESUME WRITING NOW .. SUCH AN INTERESTING PIECE IT WAS ..

GOOD NIGHT !!
