Where the olive trees sing
ongoing project 2024
“In this village, the sun rises and sets in silence. Only the people speak, but they speak the language of the earth.”
- from Where Is the Friend's House? (1987)
Laurence eases into the pool as Pier begins his first crossword of the day.
The morning sun embraces the land, casting long shadows that whisper stories of comfort and routine.
In the stillness of Provence, I trace echoes of a faraway home, northern Iran.
The olive trees and the golden light hold me in familiarity, reminding me that belonging is found in these small rituals and shared gestures, where the earth’s language ties past and present.
