[minimalist-quotes]

Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being disrespected.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

Gazan Artist Donation Dive Part 3

Our next Gazan artist is my dear friend Fadi Thabet, an international award winning photographer. He is known for his street photography, a way for him to express his passion for photography while documenting the everyday life of Gaza. He captures faces in a unique way to highlight beauty amongst the hardship and the unexpected.

Check out his art through photography in a song that I wrote. All what you see in the background are Fadi's photographs.

Fadi lost his home in Gaza and many of his family and friends, he lost count of the times he was displaced in this genocide.

Please show him your support and love through this 5 day campaign. We are hoping to send him $1000 to help with his suffering and above all, to show Fadi that we see him and appreciate his art and talent.

Until when?

Lyrics by Mariam Alammuri, Photography by Fadi Thabet, Performance by Abdelfatah Owainat, Music by Avo Aram

Until when will the darkness haunt me? How long in fear will I wake up or sleep? How long, O universe, will I wait for peace?

My holiday is passing and I crave the sweetest singing

High on the wing of a dream I embrace the sky

What did I do and what sin did I commit

to wake up from my dream to the color of blood

I am your child, by God, extend a hand to me

All I hope for is to live tomorrow

In love, in joys, in safety, together..

I beg of you, do not let my pleading voice echo back at me
