Celebrating Ramadan amidst the concrete rubble
String lights illuminate hungry faces
To be surrounded by oppression and violence yet sit together at a table to share a feast
That is true resilience.
Love radiates from the dishes, food scarce so they share
No matter the evil, the deathly threats,
They stand together united, all as one,
Their connection un-severed.
Material things, they have none.
To have such joy in dark times
Is to resist the occupation, to be freed
Body, Soul, Spirit, Mind.

My thoughts after seeing the images of those in Gaza breaking their fast.
