Spread the word: WITH EVERY FIBRE OF MY BEING

I met this expression in a TED talk (at the very end) and somehow I fell in love with it immediately. 

Here is a quote from the movie Moulin Rouge. Can you find out the meaning of with every fibre your being?

"Christian, you may see me only as a drunken, vice-ridden gnome whose friends are just pimps and girls from the brothels. But I know about art and love, if only because I long for it with every fibre of my being."

Macmillan dictionary says the following:
used for saying that a feeling is very strong

He hated her with every fiber of his being.


In a much better case you love someone with every fibre of your being. By the way, have you seen Moulin Rouge? 

Keep WALKing.

A drop in the ocean: Desert Rose

There is an evergreen song that I’ll always love. I’m sure all of you know this masterpiece but have you ever paid attention to the lyrics? It’s so nicely put that it’s worth having a look at.

First read the lyrics and check the unknown words. Then start the video and follow the song line by line.

[Cheb Mami Introduction (Algerian Arabic):]
Hadaee mada tawila
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
[English:]
Oh night oh night
It has been a long time
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

[Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
Aman aman aman
Omry feek antia
Ma ghair antia
Ma ghair antia
[English:]
Aman aman aman
My life is for you
And no one other than you
And no one other than you

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall

[Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
Ya lili ah ya leel
[English:]
Oh night oh night

Spread the word: TO BE IN THE SAME BOAT

Have you ever been told that you and another person are in the same boat? Have you ever met this English expression?

"It's not surprising any more to me that I am struggling to find work, because everybody is in the same boat."

from BBC

"This definition of social glue does not necessarily include trust, liking, or mutual respect. Those may come later once the feeling of connection and the sense of being in the same boat has been established."

from Creating Social Glue in the Community

Laugh a minute: How to hug

Did you hear about the blonde that went to library and checked out a book called 'How to hug'? Got back to the dorm and found out it was volume seven of the encyclopaedia.
