His writings evoke melancholy which he says that it is only the other face of happiness !
He so beautifully explains that reality goes beyond what we see, touch and feel and his insights make it easier for one to bear pain and suffering.

you know arabic???wow!! I imagine the writing would read differently in arabic - each language has its own nuance.
here is an excerpt from John'O'Donahue "To Bless the Space Between Us" you might also like:
When the way is flat and dull in times of gray
endurance
May your imagination continue to evoke horizons.
When thirst burns in times of drought,
May you be blessed to find the wells.
May you have the wisdom to read time clearly
And know when the seed of change will flourish.
In your heart may there be a sanctuary
For the stillness where clarity is born.
Kind regards,
md
