It was a clear morning, the first day of spring. In the little flowerpot on the bedside table was a little bunch of violets, the white sheets, the hands placed one next to the other, tied to a blue thread. Those hands had accompanied mine when sketching my first designs and tenderly followed my first readings. There always was a book in his hands, even after a tiresome day. I wished to bind those hands to mine. The day before, in Rome, there had been a big demonstration against the war in Iraq. The thousands of people present had tightly held one anothers hands around an extremely long flag, bearing the colours of the rainbow, with the writing Its Springtime. On 22nd March 2004, my father left our hands. On 5th March 2007, Al-Mutanabbi Street. My fathers hands and the poem of Etel Adnan are to remember Al-Mutanabbi Street.
