It was a rich year, but tomorrow when it is over then it is
لا تحاول أن تعيد حساب الأمس وما خسرت فيه ..
فالعمر حين تسقط أوراقه لن تعود مرة أخرى ..
ولكن مع كل ربيع جديد سوف تنبت أوراق أخرى ..
فانظر الى تلك الأوراق التي تغطي
وجه السماء ..
ودعك مما سقط على الأرض فقد صارت جزءاً منها !!
On the good Side-
Amenhotep III is back home.
"The head of the 18th Dynasty King Amenhotep III was returned to Egypt after two decades of being shunted back and forth between Switzerland, Britain and the US."
