More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out
I travel through time wrapped in an invisible cocoon,
my invisible armour wherein I feel safe
from the corrosion of the world.
The grief of time passing, of life moving on half finished, of empty spaces that were once bursting with the laughter and energy of people we loved.
The Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA) is in full effect with over 100 artists and authors from 11 countries. This year’s festival is exploring the concept of “writing home” – from books and stories about the places we all call home, to the ideas, cultures and conflicts that inform what home means to us.
There are plenty of fun and interesting talks and events for everyone in the family.
For fellow bibliophiles, I have put a list of events happening at TIFA this year.

On my school notebooks
On my desk and on the trees
On the sands of snow
I write your name
Longing for Haifa
By Mohammed al-Qudwa
I miss Haifa.
Do Not Love Half Lovers
By Kahlil Gibran
Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life and do not die a half death
