"People of Peace" Printed and Published!!
Wanted to say a massive thanks to all who supported me through the process of writing and working and wrestling before, during, and after my return to Palestine with International Women's Peace Service last year.
Art is needed both in its usefullness and its uselessness in our lives. Whether for therapy, telling important stories, enlightening us spiritually, making us laugh or feel something we didn't realize we needed to feel, or simply just being something pretty to look at - art is not easily quantifiable and it never should be. It is mysterious and enriches us as spiritual lifeblood poured into the world - it has to breathe, to release, in order to live and give life.
Some of the poems and photos shown on this blog have been compiled into a collection in print form. The irregularity of poetry became my only outlet as most of the time I struggled with linear thinking. It was my caretaker for a while, and though my camera was there to document human rights issues, it felt the need to capture the beauty of humans and their spaces as well.
If you'd like to purchase a copy of my book, that'd be amazing! No pressure though ;)

It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.Eleanor Roosevelt
