Hāwane Rios Instagram – amplifying from @mosab_abutoha
“Never stop talking about Palestine. Even sing and paint. Gaza needs every word and color from you now.”
At this point, you all know where I stand. You know my rage, you know my truth, you know my heartbreak, you know my grief. I have archived most of my story posts in my highlights. I will continue to post but I will not be repeating myself over and over again any more. I will now channel it all into my prayers, my actions, and my art. When I feel like I want to share my thoughts and very real emotions, I will. And when I don’t want to, I won’t. Going inward as much as I go outward is the only way I can sustain myself. So now, I sing.
My altar will forever be set to honor Palestine. This is a promise I will keep for all of my days.
I won’t stop standing up and speaking up. I won’t stop praying. I won’t stop loving. I won’t stop caring. I will sing for you until I journey to the ancestors. And even then, my voice will remain tuned to travel to your heart and to the heart of my land and people.
To Palesetina, with love, always,
