Peace

I wish I had my camera with me....this morning was a windless one along Tripoli coastline. My office is overlooking the sea and the shore is just a few hundred meters away...not even a small wave nor a tiny ripple on the water so much so that I could see the reflection of a big boat in the sea and it was at least a kilometer or two from the shore...and then I watched a small motor boat sailing from far western part of my view towards the east, opening the water like a zipper or perhaps like a very skillful tailor...two wave fronts started drifting so slowly from each other, so quietly and gently as if they did not want to disturb the nap of the coast, generating a wedge of slightly darker colour...the boat was long gone off from sight on the east side of my view and the small front wave has still not reached the shore...

Now it is around sunset and I am writing to cool my head off a little after a long day...the sea..still peaceful although there are some small ripples here and there...seems that water drops are trying to compete to reach the part of the sea that is coloured by the dusk...it might as well be like a red -orange- carpet for the waves..they know well that people will look mainly towards the sun as she goes down and will say..how beautiful!...only if the waves knew that they are the main source of beauty for the sun as she goes down beyond them...they show the sun plain and simple...like a drifting boat...like a traveller...and we all get the feeling that we shall wave her good by as she is all alone...leaving us once again...

Take your camera to work tomorrow. I'm not sure how you can do any work with a view like that.

Blogging Beirut have some great photos today, showing that the Lebanon isn't all conflict. Meanwhile here in England we are having nothing but rain.
