The Water Had A Mind Of It's Own.

Reflexión icariana

Vuela, no te des vuelta

leve y transparente

siente el rubor

Vuela, no te detengas

que el aire es un instante

y el mundo un sopladón

Vuela, no permanezcas

transmuta en el paisaje

desvanece en su color

Vuela, sube y observa

qué hermosas son las nubes...

¡qué hermosas son las nubes!

y muy lejos está el Sol

Sami Alkhalili, who runs the blogs @sami--onley and @alkliliyfamliye, has a young daughter, Salma, only three months old.

Salma was born in the midst of a genocide, under dangerous conditions. Her first experiences of this world are deeply traumatic-- the sounds of explosions and an all-encompassing collective fear and grief.

He just wants to be able to offer this beautiful little person safety. All children deserve safety from trauma, and it is our responsibility as adults to do everything we can to provide that for them. She deserves to know safety.

You can donate to Sami's fundraiser (gazavetters #21) here:

GoFundMe | Donate to help Sami and his family

All of us have a responsibility to the children of Palestine.
