The Moment

When time stops, waves form smoothed sparkling steps as the stream meets a sudden barrier. Memories arrive on a following sea in fresh colours painted by scents and sounds once familiar, once lost, and now all around.



In Amman, Jordan, old neighbourhoods emerge from the grey with feelings smoothed by years in the cask of a busy mind: Cool clear air, a hint of pine, the aroma of a wood fire from a villa nearby.



A brief moment has turned into a time to be refreshed by a cold wind and rain high in the hills of a once ancient City.



A few kilometres east of the Great Beyond the Jordanian Generation X is building a new City with the art, taste and standards of the best the world has achieved to date. A small hotel displays design and taste and good management . ..



. . . and a 400+ song list of lounge music to set guests at ease.
Songs such as by a group called "Vargo".

. . . and another group called "Ohm Guru"

On YouTube, these songs are in a genre call “Chill Out” music which, years ago, only applied to the theme for Hockey Night in Canada. Despite the protests and conflicts in the Middle East – or perhaps in response to them - there is even a festival devoted to the genre – the Dubai “Chill Out” Music festival . . .
