I have left years behind me and friends that used to find my sayings make perfect sense. I do not like dwelling in my own cocoon but it is comfortable.
I've been roaming the streets yesterday for an hour before sleeping. Looking at the few lights remaining at the city, which is Cairo at its most elegant. My memory revisits this street at a younger age.
Honestly, I would not like to turn back time. But if I was asked to, I'd turn it back to childhood, when everything was still brand new to the eyes. When the sight of the simplest thing used to electrify you. When you had crushes on older people and waiting for the day you grow up and "fit in".
I happen to like that. It's pretty much your own history. It is something that has taken a place in you. Whenever I am at a certain spot, I usually make sure I have my camera as well as my mp3 player. If I'm lucky enough, my memory scans the scenery & records the background music, while my camera takes the helping shots.
Time passes, and you find out how the music visualize the scenery in front of your eyes again. Indescribable.
I wrote a song about this that I'm afraid will see the light of day in my songbook. It easily relates to the theme. There is something of many things childish about it; Don't underestimate that.
Sorry world, I'm somewhere else.
