Beauty


I try to make things look beauty-
It’s not about me…

But the world and people’s heart.

That is what matters.

You Must Have Strength


This interview is with a young Muslim woman of 16 years old from Tunisia.
A wonderful teen to have known. I have been talking with her about her life
And she mainly also asked me many questions between both our lives. This is
One segment of it, and I had 19 minutes to talk then head out for work.

Social networker in quotes; Carol Kappes in unquotes.  Just briefly edited.


THE INTERVIEW

“I have a big problem.”

What?

“My brother in the police station. He fight with his friend”

Oh no, what he do that for?

“I can’t focus in the study and I have exam.”

How old is he?

“17”

You must focus for exam

“I can’t.”

Pray and focus. Yes, you can. Don’t tell your mind you can’t.

“Mum very sad.”

You don’t need 2 problems. Ok. Not you. You understand me? His problem
Is not yours.

“I cry when I see Mum in that situation.”

You can care about…but you need to be strong

“She was very sad.”

Ok, yes it’s life.

“He is my brother too, I love him, I can’t describe him in the prison.”

But someone has to be strong; which is you. Be the anchor when others are weak.

“I can do something which I pray to the God.”

And I will pray also. Yes, but you can stay strong…do the test. Go on. In time life
Continues.

“Can you pray with me?”

I am now as talking with you. Ok

“I will not forget what you do with me to help me. Thank you again.

Yes, you are the one to be strong…when others are weak. I think of Christ. He went
Through life and strength to carry on. I must go now to work…hope I helped you.

“Ok, c u later. Thank you for everything.”


SUMMARY

How’s things and all from the last time we talked? I’m running errands, but tell me.

“I did pass my exam”

How’s your brother?

“Is free; we found a solution to this problem. Thanks to the God.”

Have I helped you in your concerns that time? With you being strong? Tell me about that.

“Thank you for helping me too.  I don’t forget when you say to me that I must be strong for my family. You are my friend, Carol; and I don’t forget this too also.”

Glad to be of help.  You will gain strength as a woman.  I’m happy for you. And it sounds like you kept staying strong for everyone in the family.

I have been thankful for your generous gift of VOICE;
And likewise I hope to have helped you as well.
Understanding can only come from acceptance.

Worldwide Sentiments

“Very best wishes, keep your beautiful smile,
Hope you live a happy life, stay healthy,
Keep the courage, and hope that you are fine.”

Sentiments were sent with pictures of flowers,
Roses, candy, dinner table décor with food, and
A lighted candle.

Ohh, such lovely pictures sent. This is so
Outstanding, You offered so much in return of
My work/writing…Thank you so much!

You know what I like…You’re a gentleman.

I’m often surprised how others simply know what
I like and also they seem to know me quite well!
This has to be one of my best moments in life, too.

Thank you for your gifts!

Gossip, Opinion, or Knowledge

  
I have been one to be curious about life; ever
Since I have been a child on the swing set.
I often did a lot of thinking back then.

And I still do!

And I have been one that didn’t care to hear
From others’ gossip and opinion.  That is just
Something that comes freely without thought.

I rather think!

And I was the one in science class that enjoyed
Discovering answers to the hypothesis; what happens
If you mix 2 parts hydrogen with 1 part oxygen?

Thinking brings knowledge.

The answer is WATER.

Solace as Written


It’s possible with a little verse,
Your blue eyes; I live for them-
While they waiting, Darling.

Believe me;
They now wear my PEACE.

Christ is Born


Abandon
Persecution
Tormented
Crucified

In these words I understand fully how Christ felt.
These same words continue to abuse, threaten,
Terrorize, and/or murder people today in the world.

Christ came to teach all of us and to help save
A person’s soul (salvation.) Christ is born.

I understand people’s cries, especially a woman.
