‘Eid Mubarak’.

They say that tomorrow is Eid, summer is gone, winter has arrived, then New Year, then summer again, Ramadan and Eid, and I stumble every day in a whole world designed from my nightmares.

There are a thousand soldiers and a thousand shells between me and my home.

BUT.. I carry stubbornness mixed with the soil of the village to which I originate, in northern Gaza, and my stubbornness tells me: Gaza is the most beautiful place on earth, and the most deserving of life.

We will rebuild it, even if it took 100 years, that is why we were created. Inshallah every year will my land be mine, my sea be mine, and my sky be mine.

Eid Mubarak..
