R i s v e g l i o

I chose the title " R i s v e g l i o" because it represents what this blog is all about. In Italian Tongue it means " Awakening", and after a year of leaving the blogging world, " R i s v e g l i o" is the word behind my endeavor, my attempt to blog again.


I would like to Dedicate this " R i s v e g l i o" to the Soul of My Brother, My classmate, Rashid El Muheri, who have passed away in a car accident yesterday before Dawn.


May His Soul also meet a " R i s v e g l i o" , For what is Death but an Awakening from a long slumber? and what is death, but an awakening to the true life.. endless, Flowing.. Immortal.

To God We Belong,

And to God, We shall Return


I would Like to share the words of Gibran Khalil Gibran, My Poetic mentor, On the True " R i s v e g l i o"


Qoute:

"Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.

Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?

Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink form the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. "

May you all Find your " R i s v e g l i o" in the lives you lead. For life, without Awakening.. Is not Life at All.
