Cairo. Words cannot descirbe the feeling of being at perfect rest, that perfect home. Cairo is not for everybody, but for me, it was as if i a had returned home. The last census I am aware of, put the population of Cairo at 14 million. It is an amazing city; tradtion and movement into the future all happen here all the time. To hear the calls to prayer ringing throughout the city, echoing off all the buildings, is as close to realization of divineness as mankind has been able to witness. The AWESOMENESS of the city, swallowing you into Her, leading you through time, exposing you to a completely different life, different weay of thinking, only to realize, we are all the same...yes there is life out there. The soulmates I met in Cairo were of the highest calibre, incredible people, and a honor to know. I cannot say enough about this place I call Home. See, I told you words were of no use.
