Today in Lebanon, 492 human lives, including 35 children, were brutally cut short, and thousands displaced from their homes. For what?
I tried to distract myself from the grief of watching another nation endure this all too familiar hell, and for some reason, my thoughts kept turning to this.
This abandoned railway captured by
@ahmaddhaini29 is part of a railway system first developed under the Ottomans. By 1945 it connected Alexandria to Gaza, to Jerusalem, to Haifa, to Beirut and then Syria, and even connecting further to Baghdad.
We were one region, seamlessly connected.
Muslims, Christians and Jews rode this line to their jobs, to visit their families, or just to explore.
The bustling cities of the East Mediterranean had their own trade ecosystem, developing and flourishing from each other’s culture, resources and knowledge.
This was our past.
In the 1940s, Zionist gangs bombed the tracks.
Palestine died, and this world died with it. Never again could you take a train from Gaza to Jerusalem or Beirut.
And yet, today, strangely...I feel that these cities are more connected than they have ever been.
Please protect Lebanon.🇱🇧 #palestinewillbefree #lebanon🇱🇧
@connordnetto I’m excited to share that Jayson Gillham @jaysongillham and I have released our recording of my piano piece Witness to raise funds for the amazing charity @para.foundation 💖
Earlier this year I saw Jayson was on the lineup for an upcoming fundraiser concert for PRCF (Palestine Children’s Relief Fund) at Manchester Cathedral. We’d been looking for an opportunity to collaborate on something, and as I had a freeish weekend I offered to write him something to play at that fundraiser; thus ‘Witness’ was first born.
In the end he wasn’t able to fit it into that program, so we started chatting about ways this piece could still be used to fundraise in support. The most obvious and impactful thing we could do was to record the piece and donate the proceeds of the release to charity.
We’re donating all the proceeds from this release to PARA (Palestine Australia Relief and Action). They’re a fantastic Naarm/Melbourne based charity, created and run by Palestinian Australians to support migrants and refugees from Palestine with the resources and support needed to resettle.
Witness is OUT NOW on Bandcamp via Romm40 / A Guide To Saints, where you can buy the digital track as well as a super limited edition risograph print of the album art – please give generously and support the amazing work PARA does!

“Take Control of Your Worth”
.
“sometime we have to remind ourselves: that we are not responsible for other people’s poor behaviour towards us, or their gaslighting, or their manipulation, or their unkindness. That’s on them. What’s on you is how you choose to respond, set boundaries, know your worth, and not let their actions impact the beautiful soul that you are.”

❓: What’s one self-care practice that helps you feel grounded and centered when dealing with toxic or negative situations?

Leaving a mark
We often think that our existence might not mean much and no one would care if we werent there. While growing up i certainly felt that way on multiple occasions, yet i have come to realize how wrong i was and how even in the smallest ways i was reshaping the world around me and hopefuly for the better.
It’s a message i wish i could’ve have shared with my younger self, yet i will share it with those that are currently feeling the same way as i used to, to let them know that they have a place in this world as we all have a significant role to play in it.
