The Mental Trips of Sinbad

Human experience is like an ancient work of mosaic; small pieces of colored rock, which on their own have no value whatsoever other than their colorful identity, but when they're conjoined to one another, they create a lasting work of art called our lives. The small pieces of rock come to life with their simple representation of human trace, a bloodstain of a one time existence, an assertion of being.

Sometimes, the simplest, most obvious realization of existence comes through a mirror; an actual one or one which reflects within the human mind, and sometimes, we need to see our own reflection to truly believe that we're right there, and that despite our dissolve and submergence in our oceans of perceived realities, we really do leave a trace of our humanity behind, a heartbeat of sorts that echoes like a reflection off a mirror within our chests and beyond to tell us we're alive, the most important part in this process is to hear your own echo, and see your own reflection, before seeking to be heard and seen.

  1. The best feeling ever is when I look at my reflection and feel content that I am still the same person inside..

    Have you seen the movie Ammar? I loved it and had to see it twice. The first time I was only listening to the Lebanese accent and trying to recognize some of the streets in Beirut !!

  2. The more painful it is to look in the mirror, the longer I stare

  3. Good Morning :)

    For some reason your post brought tears to my eyes.

    "Human experience is like an ancient work of mosaic; small pieces of colored rock, which on their own have no value whatsoever other than their colorful identity, but when they're conjoined to one another, they create a lasting work of art called our lives"

    Every experience we have, every person we know, every text we read, and every beautiful think we look at and through, adds to this set of mosaic, takes out some of them and amend the places of some. I think the picture that these pieces of mosaics create, is constantly changing according to the change happening in its pieces. This makes change as a constant reality in our selves. During this change it's important to be aware of the new pictures being drawn inside in order to keep knowing who we are! So, we have to keep looking into this mirror you talked about!

    Thank you Ammar!
