the trip to egypt.

april 28th until mai 03rd '06.


what came across me was . . . 

to be welcome.
to be familia'.
being sad - cause of losing
a member of the family.
sensibility of my emotions.
being confused by organizing all the
duties in fact of the fathers death.
to be in need of having not just
a translater - even a mediator -
for a better understanding.
being happy about the final support.
being happy having such a
family in egypt.
the oriental feeling i have inside.
the confirmation of knowledge and
feeling -  that all people all over the
world want and need the same and
have to be very well educated to reach
their "open mind".
at last - acceptance and under-
standig of all the difference between
"my" two countries - al amdu lel ah.
feeling like an ambassadress even
regarding practising religion.
feeling of being connected.
to feel having spent there 6 weeks
instead of really 5 days.
after returning back to germany
my soul needed a little longer to
come home.
at the end - feeling much richer
round about - en schaa allah.

the rest is between these lines ...
is in readers imagination...

susan.
