The Talisman of Joy

About this book

Are you weary of the repetition of days, with disappointments piling upon you until you nearly forgot your face in the mirror? Stop here a moment. You are not alone a stranger amid the crowd, and you are not the only one who lost the "signpost" of the road. The Talisman of Joy is not merely a collection; it is a silent journey into the depths of the heart written by a poet who owned nothing but his words to make an impact on hearts. Dr. Mohamed Abdel Azim, a true son of Egypt's Sa'id, dives with you to where meanings meet in the provision of happiness, the support of hope, and the warmth of pure companionship. In this work you discover that provision has many forms: not wealth and status alone, but your contentment despite the harshness of fate, a support you find in times of worry, and a dream that takes you "beyond the borders of the possible and of time." It is an invitation to live the moment with a happy, contented heart, and to fight every kind of defeat so that you may be "whole." But do not think it a naive call, for the poet does not ignore life's aches — the "mud" that grips us, the estrangement in this world, and the long night of patience. He dispels illusions with the certainty that the procession of darkness changes and dawn must come. A collection where the talisman is not magic but gratitude, and joy is a decision renewed every morning.
