While chilling with Nada watching Hanya's body movements on the new red carpets of al Aqsa, another woman walked to her instructing her to cover her hair properly.
Walking out the 'esplanade' a third woman asked
whether we came from Turkey ? i smiled because
we have just actually come back from Istanbul,
so I said Yes!
"ihna minil Ouds" we come from Jerusalem'
Nada said.
when i asked her what makes her think we are not minil balad 'locals'
she said because you dont look so, and "why werent you praying'?
she asked me ?
"'I do it my way" i replied.
in this 'unique' city
that we are so proud of
it seems the closer you get to the holies
the less you feel the spirituality.
Let me think its the people and not the place.
despite the sharp clear light of the city
being 'closer to the skies'
u find yourself diving underground !
What a pitty, to carry this feeling of discomfort when
you are still carrying your blue ID and not yet in exile!
