The whole process of translation boggles my mind. These are my favorite lines:<br /><br />It paints all the stories of love in my language<br /> <br />Its colours form the spectrum from grape to dawnJoyce Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905709719444916488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-50889142343613752792012-09-21T17:08:41.490-07:002012-09-21T17:08:41.490-07:00One day, one day I will visit New York - and I wil...One day, one day I will visit New York - and I will want to spend a whole week in the Met...

I spent several weeks in Bahrain sometime in 2009 and 2010, and learned a little bit about the Middle Eastern culture - so rich, and so filled with life, vibrance, and pride in their wondrous and ancient heritage. Time to learn more, yes.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-27414338239980539892012-09-21T04:42:08.818-07:002012-09-21T04:42:08.818-07:00Thanks for the post, Julie.

Next time I'm in NYC, I'll have to visit those galleries.<br /><br />My favorite lines were:<br />"And poetry is my satchel that I will always carry with me<br /> It holds the taste and fragrance of the earth." And the last line, what a knock-out!Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.com
