Thank you for this excellent piece. It gives me a reason to take a deep breath, which has been hard for me in the past eight months, watching a senseless genocide and feeling so helpless.
I have loved Gaza and Palestine through your eyes, your heart and my soul feeling the tug of humanity that emanates from that land. I have always read the history of that land with loving concern.
I love Palestine like my own. I feel the Palestinians like I feel my children. I pray for my children and the Palestinians and other oppressed around the world in one sentence.
Thank you Palestine to own humanity in its purity.
May Allah alleviate the suffering and bless you with ease and peace. May you breathe freely so we all breathe freely because you breathe.
You so beautifully put words to the vital importance of friendship. I am extremely grateful for my decade of single adulthood where I had space to prioritize friendship, and learned to recognize its immense value. Now that I'm in a romantic partnership, there are more demands on my relational time and energy, but I still work to prioritize friendship because it still feels extremely important to me.
Salam Bitya and my beloved Palestine,
