Notably:My grandfather used to ask my grandma, “What tranquility do you hear?” on the balcony on summer evenings. Unaware that he was asking her if she heard the unheard and if she felt the silence as he did, my maternal grandmother, who was hard of hearing by that point and, in contrast to my paternal grandmother, was still refusing to wear a hearing aid, would respond in a completely different way, coming up with something to answer him and keep him from feeling ignored. His piety, with a sensuality, wouldn’t dare speak, but he found other ways, as you can clearly see. My grandfather was referring to the Sannin mountains, which rise about 10,000 feet above the village where we resided, just 2,400 feet above the ground, through a series of valleys and smaller mountains. My maternal grandfather was a saint. My brother brought me the slide above a few days ago. It’s an ancient batch of slides that have been unearthed in a same way to how archeological digs have uncovered Greek and Roman amphitheaters in our Levantine regions or amphores that are still filled with imaginative memories that can bring an entire world back to life. My grandparents, Geddo Anis and Nonna, were flirtatious. In the home he had constructed, she would ultimately outlive him by ten years. I recall the day he passed away. I was present. After undergoing surgery to remove prostate cancer, he was never able to walk again. The year was 1977. After I got my coat, someone entered my classroom at the College Mariste de Champville and pulled me out with her arms wrapped around me. Something was obviously incorrect. You adapted to it. Naturally, my father, who shot the above photo for FlaglerLive, had passed away the year before. Back then, we youngsters of Lebanon were accustomed to loss. Despite the chaos of Lebanon all around, what remains of my grandfather is the same calm in Sannin? Like time, geography is relative. On some days or nights, my thoughts stray to the view of that mountain as we would see it from our home. It’s like the opening notes of a specific sonata by Mozart (see below), transporting me back in time to see my grandfather walking outside with his cane, always having his back. From the little size of our community, Sannin was too high and enormous to not always be in your sights, much like the moon that follows you everywhere. It was our god. We cannot deny that we cannot fight the temporal, thus I can still travel there occasionally, but only temporarily. We lose to it. However, there are times.

I believed that the tallest bluff on the Mississippi between St. Louis and New Orleans, which is located close to Selma, Missouri, was most likely the highest peak in the world when I first traveled down the river. It stands at a height of 413 feet. It still hovers with unwavering grandeur in my recollection. As I followed the trees and bushes up its enormous slant with my sight, I can still see them getting smaller and smaller until they were only a wispy fringe on the far pinnacle.
from Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain (1869).
