My last trip to Damas filled my soul with the smell of Jasmine, and now I am back with a fresh "smell" and thoughts and a much better mood.
Nizar Qabbani once said:
لا أستطيع أن أكتب عن دمشق , دون أن يعرش الياسمين على أصابعي
ولا أستطيع أن أنطق اسمها دون أن يكتظ فمي بعصير المشمش والرمان , والتوت , والسفرجل
ولا أستطيع أن أتذكرها , دون أن تحط على جدار ذاكرتي ألف حمامة .. وتطير ألف حمامة
And me, I just can't think about Damascus without smelling the sweet Jasmine.. I wish that one day someone will bring me a neckband of Jasmine "tawq yasameen", it would be the best gift ever,, I wish to give my daughter the name of "Jasmine",, I wish to plant Jasmine all over my garden.. Maybe this would make me feel home..
