“¡Qué beneficioso seria para la vida que nos percatásemos y enterásemos a tiempo de que nunca estaremos en mejores términos con nuestra amada que si elogiamos a nuestro rival! Su corazón se llenara de gozo y cualquier temor a herirnos o perdernos se habrá desvanecido; nos hará confidentes suyos, y nosotros, muy contentos, nos convenceremos de que el fruto del árbol será nuestro si tenemos el suficiente buen humor para dejar a otros las hojas que vayan cayendo”

Dear Paolo,
Here are my answers,
1. I’m 36 years old, born to Palestinian parents. I Grew up in the Middle East, then Montreal for 13 years. And have been living in Chicago for the last 6 years.
2. Music I like listening to, in love with one instrument pieces. George Winston piano, Otmar leibert’s Spanish guitar, and Japanese flute are examples. Every once in a while I run into a song, and it feels like it fell accidentally from heaven especially for me, well at least I like to think so. It could be by anyone.
3. Books I’m reading now. Me talk pretty one day by David Sedaris, and The Celestine prophecy by James Redfield.
4. I read the Al Chemist about 4 years ago. And I just finished reading The Way of the Bow.
Happy for all the lucky ones that will get the chance to be in your one of a kind company
Have a great day
