Dr. Manoranjan Das

      Taghrid  Bou Mehri, hervests her idea through remembering and salvation into her poetry. She draws in her mind that remembering childhood is significant because it shapes identity, promotes emotional well-being, and influences adult behavior and health outcome , and, positive memories can provide a sense of stability, reduce stress, and encourage healthy choices, while reflecting on both good and bad experiences can help individuals understand themselves, learn life lessons, and build resilience. She accelerates her idea through her soul's dreaming that is sparked , by carrying and searching the incidents and accidents of primary days of life.Thus, she writes,

' Take my soul and set it free,
To wander through eras
Clothed in the purity of memories.

Let it take back to when I was child,
Dreaming of stealing a spark of light ,
hiding in the pocket of my dreams.

Carryig it far to paths I have to yet seen, searching for the mirage  of childhood in the soil of villages
And in the weathered nests of plam trees at the edge of fields.'1

          
        Taghrid Bou Mehri is Lebanese-Brazilian poet, writer, journalist, editor, essayist and translator, fluent in multiple languages. She is President of CIESART in Lebanon, an advidor of Sham Land Books, and the World Union Arab Intellectuals Brazils representative in creative ( Germany ),   and global poetry advisor of CCTV , China.

        Accurately speaking, Taghrid Bou Mehri dedicates through thought that childhood memories are a key part of what shapes a person's identity and sense of self,and,
early experiences influence the values, beliefs, and life lessons that continue to guide decision-making in adulthood. She notices herself that whispering and echoing are like clays of early days the planting of soul of grown.Thus, she writes,

'I hear the whispers of memories,
Feel my steps echoing through the days,

If you wish, take my hand to lead me to scent the clay the aroma of old bread,
Where stories rise from the cracks in the walls,
Where I wove a cloak from the sky from moonlight,
And planted in my soul a childhood that never grows old.'3


        Amusingly speaking, Taghrid Bou Mehri, abides that
identifying patterns in childhood memories can help reframe core beliefs and provide a deeper understanding of one's own behavior, and,
recalling happy memories can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost self-esteem. Thus, she has the craziness,

          'Happy childhood memories are linked to better health outcomes in adulthood, including a lower risk of depression and chronic illnesses, possibly by reducing stress and promoting healthier choices.
        ......................

     'Positive memories provide a sense of comfort, continuity, and stability, especially during times of unchange.'3


             Freely speaking, Maghrid Bou Mehri authoritates that  salvation is to achieve a state of being free from negative conditions such as suffering, sin, and death, and to attain a higher, more positive spiritual state,and, this can mean liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth, as in being saved from spiritual death and eternal punishment. She clears that sighing , relating to faithfulness is harmonising like the quenching the dreams.Thus, she writes,

'Merely half a machine;
And the other half of flesh and clay!
Restless sighing according to the alphabet of falling, and
descending at the last run salvation...

I am at the good faith of nature, at eternal being!

From the braid of the cloud, I harmonize and chant hymns of water springs...
So the deserts of hearts
and wilderness of dreams are quenched...
And the clay is saved and the pages of darkness are folded...'4

            She channelises her thought in such a way that salvation is seen as being saved from sin and its eternal consequences through faith, grace, and good deeds, often as a result of God's act of deliverance. She knows,
salvation, is the liberation of the soul from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
It is achieved through righteous living, devotion, and spiritual practices, leading to spiritual enlightenment and a state of completeness.'5

            Subjectively speaking, she attendifies her mind that  salvation is the cessation of suffering and the cycle of rebirth by extinguishing the 'fires' of greed, hatred, and ignorance, and,
it addresses a fundamental human desire for rescuing from the perceived flaws in the universe and human nature, such as injustic, and the inability to overcome death. She has the longer aim of murmuring where
emptiness is traced about.Thus, she writes,

'You, no longer see me as vapours being in the form og smoke...
You, no longer see my steps as mere airy traces...
No longer wait the sound of the wind as it rages
With it murmurs above the ropf of the hungry and in the mouth of emptiness...'6

     Celebratingly speaking, Taghrid Bou Mehri, governing with eternal thought remerkably positivates that the feelngs are reeled from childhood day to slvation is moored morally, on the whole.
