Tonight…at exactly this hour: 2:52…I had just returned from Tahrir…I had seen with my own eyes for the first time in my life what is “a birth of a revolution”…I had smelled the scent of fear strengthening the revolutionists…witnessed brutal force and raw evil capturing free spirits…and I knew deep down my trembling heart that what i experienced changed me forever.
It opened me up to new dimensions of self exploration…uncovered layers of fear and pealed them off one at a time…introduced me to the bloody powers of the predators that is not wrapped in romantic stories or urban legends or political interpretations…and eye opened the true value of what i always possessed and practiced but in a smaller personal scale: Mighty will..Self value..hardcore esteem!!
I saw the Jan25 Egyptian revolution.
And today..I saw the growth and maturity and the milestone of the amazing Egyptian journey…and we continue.
One year from now i couldn’t breathe…
Today…I breathe full lungs…I breathe honor and hope.
