In the middle of the desert since ages ago! It has been standing for a long where people lived on their own! Made houses, cultivated and meditated!

In this space, in this Oasis, everything transforms, which brought me back to this piece of a song of Um Kothoum - enta omry!

Yes, but this time the words spoke to my conscious self!

يا أغلى من أيامي
يا أحلى من أحلامي
خدني لحنانك خدني
من الوجود وابعدني
بعيد بعيد أنا وانت
بعيد بعيد وحدينا
