"May sings with her guitar, her heart and the beautiful voice with which she has been blessed." - Zaki Nassif (Lebanese folk music icon)
"May's singing comes from the heart and has the ability to go straight to the heart." - Fareed Abou El Kheir (reknowned sound engineer-Lebanon)
"May has a refined ear. She is Lebanese surrounded by Lebanese people, and yet she is creating her own style. When you are serious, gifted and ambitious, you are complete." - Joseph Ichkanian (guitarist)
"When I sing, whether alone or in front of a crowd, I forget about everything around me and just let my heart do the reaching out through the melody and meaning I so wish to convey. It is like a meditation for me, and it gives me deep satisfaction and gratitude to see that other people actually find it as satisfactory for them to hear me sing" - May Nasr -
At the name of Jesus, ev'ry knee shall bow.
Ev'ry tongue confess Him King of glory now.
'Tis the Father's pleasure we should call Him Lord,
Who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
Crown Him as your captain in temptation's hour.
Let His will enfold you in its light and pow'r.
Jesus, Lord and Savior, shall return again
with His Father's glory o'er the earth to reign,
'Tis the Father's pleasure we should call Him Lord,
Who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
Dear May
I thank God for His blessings,
For shelter, friends and food;
For every need He did supply
And most of all, for you.
Ananias was a Christ disciple in Damascus, to whom Jesus came in a vision and gave detailed instructions including what street (Straight Street) and what house (Judas' house) to go to in order to lay hands on Saul so that Saul would receive his sight back. Jesus was telling Ananias to go help the man who came to town to throw him in prison and would like to murder him. Wow, what an instruction and what a step of obedience by a Christ follower!
Straight Street (or in Latin, Via Recta), is the Roman street that runs from east to west in the old city of Damascus. It was visited by St. Paul as mentioned in the story of Paul's conversion to Christianity in Acts 9:10-19
Ananias Chapel in the basement of the Ananias house, Damascus
When Ananias arrives, he specifically addresses Saul as “brother”. What an example of the love and forgiveness that are fruit of a Christ follower’s life. Saul received his sight after Ananias (his enemy) laid his hands on him and he followed Christ that day.
This Syrian village, Saidnaya, where houses are built around a rock with a very old convent at the top, is considered a place for religious pilgrimage.
A steep climb is the only way up to the convent, which is said to date back to the Emperor Justinian.
Legend has it that the Virgin Mary appeared to Justinian and asked him to found the convent.
After entering through a maze of passages, you finally reach the Chapel of the Virgin. The walls are covered with beautiful icons including one said to have been painted by St. Luke.
This chapel was very famous to Christians and at one point was the second Christian place of pilgrimage after Jerusalem, the crusaders called it "Notre Dame de Sardeneye".
Greetings and love from Syria

With curly hair, hawk-like black, reaching her neck, a torso so feminine to drive you crazy, with looks of innocent fire like charring coals, she's slim and tall with curves at the right place.
Her words are very few, no conversations, and her smiles are unexpected and strange, like someone who never learned to smile, as if she's lived her life in fear and in pain.
It is a sour pain to watch her do the tango. It is both a pleasure and a pain, a poison to dance with her, to feel her yielding limbs and body stretch endlessly on top of yours, to give the best you've got, and start to hope, and then she'll leave you on the fourth song, with an outwardly thank you, and you wondering why?
Perhaps Lily does not like any man, because with all of us she'll only dance three times. Perhaps no man among us is enough for her, because she prefers to sit alone and wait. Perhaps Lily is herself a tango song, always dressed in black and attractive, with naked shoulders and back, single and by herself, full of pain and yearning. Yes, Lily is a tango song.
Hi May!! I truly had a once in a life time experience at the Esperanza Center in San Antonio. You & Lourdes fit so perfectly together and hope i can have the privilege to see you again. much much luv from San Antonio ;-)
"The LORD is your shepherd, you shall not be in want. He makes you lie down in green pastures, He leads you beside quiet waters, He restores your soul. He guides you in paths of righteousness for His Name's sake. Psalm 23:1-3
I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living.... In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. ~Martha Graham, c.1953
Hello May, how are you doing my wonderful friend? May God bless you always. Greetings from Palermo Roberto
