The Phoenix rises from it’s ashes…
It’s been more than ten years since Laura’s death and once again I am going to post something from her Facebook every day, apart from when I don’t have internet coverage.
The full moon, Laura’s moon, is shining brightly this morning, so brightly that I managed to make a cup of coffee in the kitchen without turning on the light. She is with me.
13 May 2014 as she was about to leave Dubai for Qatar.
“Medwak and Dokha 
“.
Over the weekend I repacked most of Laura’s belongings in the large lime green plastic box which has protected and kept them safe for many years. This time I put all her clothes which I would wear occasionally, to rest, close to the five abayas which I had intended to start wearing from the beginning of 2024, rejecting my life and me, retreating to solitude and nature, where I find peace, but I am still here, in the ‘civilised’ world.
The medwak and dokha were amongst her ‘stolen’ luggage which I had to fight to find…I can picture her with the medwak pipe held in her long slim fingers, smoke curling…
