This piece is for the beloved people in Gaza. The guilt of failing you weighs heavy on our shoulders. We will not relent in whatever little we can do for you, to become your voice, to stand up for you, to pray for you countless times every day. You will be free. A dawn of ease will dawn for you. Maybe, maybe, then we will have earned a small right to ask for your forgiveness. Until then, we bow our heads in collective shame of humanity to disgrace itself naked for all to see how vile it come be. It is hard to breathe. But breathe we must to heal the bleeding hearts and patch the hole in the soul. With love and dua for my Gaza and my Palestine. May Allah accept your immense sacrifice and reward you abundantly with His blessings. May the lost humanity find its way towards love and kindness, learning from you. For you are what humanity ought to be <3
Thank you for such a vulnerable share. The undoing of the world is violent and relentless and will convince you nothing else is possible, but it is. We know it. The clock is ticking on white supremacy and imperialism and global capitalism. They will get more cruel when they feel their time running up - attempts at control more vicious. And yet the tides turn. Take heart. Take rest. Take what you need. Tomorrow will come and we need you there too. <3
Heartbreakingly beautiful, raw, and relatable. Your spirit must become / stay whole, and it is absolutely tied to the healing of Palestinians. Let them feel your joy on the vibrations of your prayers. How that will help their hearts too. 💞
There may be less posts and coverage but I promise you, we've all been broken and we're putting our pieces back together slowly and we will not forget what we've seen and the gaslighting that we've experienced. The crying babies, the grieving fathers, the shocked mothers - they are never leaving our hearts.
Thank you for writing and sharing this. I am also feeling the overwhelm and yes sometimes I just have to step away and try to decompress so that I can continue to bear witness and do whatever I can even if it’s only prayer, donating and sharing information. We’re no good to anybody if we’re broken.
