Trauma you can’t escape. At 4am I saw cctv video of a father in Beirut hiding his son under a table during the explosion. I broke. The violence & blood I can handle, the fear though, awakens terror. As kids we slept in the bath-the safest place if shelling started overnight

My brother & I on a pile of pillows, cocooned in an iron tub. As I watched my city shattered again last night, when we rebuilt time after time after time, we are reminded we are just ashes.

Grief on grief is how @SaraSalehOz describes it. Love and care to my community and those affected beyond, we are family in these times.
