The Old City of Hebron in the West Bank (Palestinian territories)- a Ghost Town because of the illegal Israeli settlements interspersed throughout it. Strange to walk through a place that used to be full of markets and vendors and people...
"A dream worth having: To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."-Arundhati Roy, from her speech entitled "Come September"
