An unshakable faith

when the world fails you, hold on to Life

clutch it close to your chest and breathe it in

look upon its face with a heart purified by tears of grief and sacred rage

see how joy still crinkles its eyes

and laughter erupts from its belly

how it blooms with Love again and again

in an endless devotion to beauty

this is what I learn from the Palestinians

how to play and pray among the rubble

an unshakable faith in Life worth living

the embodiment of Divine’s infinite grace
