للحقيقة في المواصي وجه آخر
لعل صوتي يحمل أصوات الآخرين ، عفواً أيها السادة للحقيقة في المواصي وجه آخر ، والصورة الإنسانية في نهاية الألفية الثانية ، متحركة ملأى بمضامين أن نصبح أقوى من الموت وأبعد عن الناس والقنوط فيتطور بنا الحال ونبتعد عن الشجب والاستنكار والمهادنة ويتحولون إلى ثوار لا مبالين يزرعون أشجاراً من دمائهم تورق مشاعل ومشاعر وتثمر حياة أنحني لها احتراما

الاتحاد بجسدي
كيف أبدأ ؟ ومن أين ؟
هل أبدأ بذلك الإحساس الفظيع الذي ينتقل إلى جسدي خفية ن يسري متواريا عن الأنظار ويحتل كل كياني وينتهي بي إلى حريق كبير .. دوار ودوار وألم ودموع مشبعة برائحة العرق … فلا أصحو منه إلا وأنا لا أقوى على الوقوف فأجلس إلى أول شيء أراه أمامي راضية وسعيدة .

تجربتنا
المهمة لم تكن بالسهولة التي توقعناها ، هذا ما يمكنني قوله بعد شهرين من العمل على إعداد قلب الأمور الخاصة بمجموعتنا .

Lunch hour in New York City
Everyone stands in line

Ghosts
We were having a pillow fight. It was three in the morning and as always I had on my strange sleep clothes, a bright red nightgown with rainbow colored tights. We were trying to muffle our hysterical laughter with the pillows so as to not wake up the others in the flat.

Another day passes, another life is lost
Dreams of freedom live on in bombed homes, and shattered bodies Words of power are uttered, devoid of meaning, forgetful of why they came to be
|
And they laugh
I live on a high from the pine trees. I have to breathing in their fresh strong scent night and day. I even sleep with my window ajar in the winter so that it’s essence will not elude me and trouble my dreams.

Word by Word
Where do we come from?
We could ask ourselves that same question every day and keep adding on answers

East vs. West
I grew up in the country of the million martyrs and even though I did not live during the times of its revolution, I learn about its history and the atrocities the French committed.

The Qalb El-Umour Project
SOME HISTORY AND BACKROUND
My first attempts at working with building what now I would refer to as “learning spaces/environments” was in 1971. I did not use these terms then. I referred to what I was trying to do as learning and building community.

I am longing for an Arab
With coffee brown eyes
Offered in the morning
To wake me up

MY MOTHER VS. THE US CONGRESS
Since the mid seventies, one idea that I constantly had on my mind has been to write a book about “My Mother vs. the West”. The idea was triggered in my mind first

quiet
these days, “only” a handful go-
it’s daily, this death-
but nowhere in the news are
the mohammeds and ahmeds and
18-month old passengers of daddy/s car-
their passing devaluated with silence.

On Returning
Softly –
I shift quietly,
Control every muscle
In the effort not to disturb
Dad

Tribute to Iman
The story seems like it begins with baruch goldstein, the Israeli settler/physician/from brooklyn that settled in Palestine, in hebron, where samia, laila, iman, and shaaden are from, but its really much older.

Fluid Mechanics, the Intifada, and Maher’s Zaffeh
A few weeks ago I attended my cousin Maher’s wedding in Birzeit. It was a sunny crisp Friday afternoon, and I was a late coming back from a day trip to Jerusalem
