"A Sea in My Name... and a Wounded Homeland"
⋆⋅☆⋅⋆
"My session on my sea came to an end. I returned to my shelter, just a few meters from my shore. I wished I could say, 'I'm returning home,' but a Palestinian cannot own a home in their homeland as long as that homeland is wounded in the hands of its oppressor.
The homeland must first free its pierced body from the jaws of the beasts before it can provide a home, oxygen, and water for its young children."

I think that authors’ ghosts creep back
Nightly to haunt the sleeping shelves
And find the books they wrote.
Those authors put final, semi-final touches,
Sometimes whole paragraphs.
Whole pages are added, re-written, revised…

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a piece of fiction that really blew your mind/impacted/changed your perspective/taught you an important value as a child/teen where that impact/perspective/lesson isn't particularly unique or groundbreaking but it was your first encounter with it and it's meaningful to you?
everybody has to have their first encounter with a concept, no matter how obvious/tropey/overplayed etc, at some point in their life. So don't be ashamed if your answer is like "this episode of a cartoon show taught me not to hate ugly people" or something. This is a safe space for sharing. At least I will try my best to keep it as one.

Lately, my eyes—weighted by the harrowing details of genocide and worn by the dust of my home’s ruins—fail to perceive the world. Something within them falters, forcing them to forsake the silent 'spring of inanimate things' that lingers around me.
Everything has dissolved into gray, drifting in a closed loop of mute screams—audible only to the ants, the stones, the trees, and the beasts; sensed by every living pulse, save for humanity.
