Dear Susannah, thank you for reading and for your kind thoughts. Such thoughts and the human connections behind them make all the difference to me. Thank you!
Sofia mou, I can't imagine how hard it has been write this, but I am glad it is here and, in some way, I have been able to sit with you and hear you speak about it. 💙
Katerina mou, the difficulty of writing it may have been the reason it took me so long to write it. Thank you for checking in with me weekly and for listening to me sharing bits and pieces of all this adventure earlier. So grateful for oyur presence in my life XX
I have been thinking of you and all those you know and love in Iran. Thank you for sharing this and this is so terrible and you help us understand the impact on the real people you know and the places where once there was just everyday life. Here in Spain a Spanish writer presented his poems in response to the bombing of Gaza. The title is called ‘Escuchen Pajaros’ Listen for Birds. A Palestinian poet is quoted that it is hard to write about life, nature when there are no birds to listen to just constant bombardment. I love your olive tree and think that this is like a branch helping you find the inner peace to write. You write so well and have so much to offer so many with your words and experiences. Your new idea and writing seems intriguing. Just little by little am sure this will grow into your book. Sending love to all and we do hope all will be well for you and everyone in Iran and other conflicts.
Thank you for reading and your comment . Some footage of the bombing (can't remember where - sickening in itself) showed birds taking flight upon sensing the blast - a heart-breaking image. The writing of the long story is proving a kind of refuge. Thank you for your kind wishes.
Thank you for this important post, Sofia. Keeping you and your family and all in Iran in my heart.
