Nest of Rest Doesn't Exist???

     Once upon a time, and a dark time it was, there was an old man living in a metropolitan city. Though living in such a city and having a high-rank profession there, the old man still never felt at ease. Unable to know why he was so, he was always at the low of his ebb; for he had never found his phycholigical  rest. Till a day, it was a holiday, one of his intimate old friends invited him to his diamond wedding, so to speak. The old man in the city did not even know about his friend's wedding ceremony, let alone his diamond wedding!!!

    All that he knew was that his friend was appointed years ago somewhere in an unknown town. Unhesitatingly, the old man in the city accepted the invitation and took the road early next morning. He was there at around 5:55 pm. the sun was about to set; the old man's heart was about to cease throbbing, for he could not believe his eyes. The scene defied description. For he, the first time in his life, had ever felt so calm or, say, phlegmatic. Everything in the town was tacitly but warmly welcoming and inviting him; his mind went tabula rasa. At the time nothing occuppied his mind; his heart went pit-à-pat as though a new blood had been injected in it.

Bray or Pray!!!

Isn't the donkey's loud sound, bray, as musical and artful as other animals?!
Just because you don't like it means that the bray is not musical or worthing listening to! In our culture, Moroccan and Muslim, the donkey's loud sound is socially and religiously unaccepted-- or as it is referred to "monkar". Sheer nonesense. Even in the holy Quran, the unacceptedness or the state of being "monkar" refers to the loud sound of the donkey, not the donkey itself.
For me,
