Leaving Syria is leaving an impossible love story. I have sold out to the fastness and gotten addicted to the slowness of being and to realize, how less I know. What a relief!

But Syria * Stay Cool * - one of its own, who has everything it takes to do so - in your spirit, in your music. Thanks to your people – Syrians – the people containing all sides of being ------. Thank you, for providing a place for us, who still wonder about it all. You, Syrian people have a strength you might not even know your own power off.
I’m looking forward to go back to all the untold stories.
