A widely quoted Bedouin saying

"Me against my brother, My brothers and me against my cousins, then my cousins and me against strangers".

Toxic ex sister in law

Poison, venom a repugnant green colour it seeps becoming a steady flow this woman was in my life sitting quietly observing, calculating. She is small and discreet 'Who could have known' the level of torment and harassment she would unleash...is it possible to hate that much?

I have learnt over the last year about the deep stench that can exist in a human mind...

But,

I know in the people around me
The kindness in a pure heart and a pure spirit
The closeness felt only with someone who knows you better that you know yourself
The brightness someone can bring to your day by just being themselves
A friend who makes you laugh
The innocence and energy in a child
The bond between family that will find peace
In times of darkness the love is there
