materialistic life-track at home. Egypt is still full of life, surprise, alternatives, colour. Spirituality is still included in everyday life. David Blake used to call Cairo the city of cities. Near his end, in hospital, he told me all about Tosca. From his bed, circles of energy were emitted, wrapping the white, barren room in warm colours, velvet textiles and a glamorous flair of excitement: Tosca live. You see, I told myself thankfully, the spirit is creating the reality. He missed the music of Talaat Harb Square, he said, not the boring, monotonous music of Kasr El-Nil, but rather the cars encircling the midan (square), gaining speed, slowing down, how clear, how beautiful. A rare bird is on his wings to heaven. Thank God he has paid us a long visit.
