Stories I remember

The memories from our childhood still exist, or in another expression, we still carry a bit of the child inside us.
Jumping was my dream when I was a child. I wanted to fly by making the highest jump and watch my house and the road from the sky and to see the entire city where I was born.
It never happened!
During my childhood I never had the chance to fly on an airplane.
Now I can see my city and even all Iraq from the tiny window of the airplane, but everything looks different.
When I was a child, I used to jump with my friends for joy and happiness. I dreamt to see my place from a great height for no particular reason.
Nowadays, al of us are flying in a big competition and we have forgotten the beauty of the games we had in childhood.

Jamal Penjweny (1981) lives and works in Iraq.
