Unknotting the past, dreaming of Home
I dream of the tiered folds in my mother’s dress tied with a knot that adorns her neck, and I feel what these folds hide from the inherited stories of our ancestors, as if they preserve underneath them what we have lived as Palestinians throughout history.
In each knot, Palestine whispers. Intricate threads, like whispered stories, bind layers of our lives, weaving a tapestry across generations. From grandparents’ hushed tales, passed down like heirlooms, to our whispers echoing through time, each layer whispers resilience, shaping who we are. Hearts embracing home, a testimony to its unity and unyielding strength.
And I dream of our little feet running on the green plains of the homeland, and the colors of the carpet blooming as an integral part of our memories.
