A painfully beautiful piece Kole, I hear you in that desert land. Life is perilous and you have reminded me to hope for miracles and as I wait, to practise gratitude for the ordinary and everyday freedoms I take for granted.

Thank you for reading, Anne. It was a heavy but poetic piece that finally emerged. We can only imagine, can’t we (I speak for myself. I don’t know your story)

Ahh, Kole, how painfully and poetically you have captured the agony. How my heart aches for Gaza.

This just shifted the trajectory of my day, as I sip my tea in my nice safe writing den and watch the rain fall steadily and dawn morphs into day. I may write something proper now. Thank you.

I just managed to delete my response to you.... but I don't suppose it matters, in the grand scheme of things!
