Excerpts from the speech of Dr. Sahar Nabih Haider:
Write me… when you loved me”, the fruit of a blatant Savage Love, independent of bold hearts that have been watered from eyes that have dried their tears, from lives that have overflowed with lessons…
The stories of people I loved, they covered my weakness with thin strands of friendliness, so I opened my pen’s eye and poured on paper an immeasurable honesty and flashes shone in a book…
Refined whispers, she dipped her feather with the tears of the eye and the blood of the heart, stroked it with tireless hopes, with joy and sadness. I played through it on the chords of time. Over the years of age painted realistic, evening and present paintings…
Her pulse awakened those who had preceded us to rest, and I treated her for the pain that refined me, the wounds that furrowed my earth and the heart-rending betrayals…
Write me… when you loved me”, harbingers that snatched joy from the clutches of sorrow and sprouted hope…
An existential battle that revealed the fog that enveloped my roses with faith, with strength, with resounding silence, so that with him I could meet some of my self and preserve my principles, vows and red lines that will mark me since my petals open…
I thought I would name her after the little ones and embrace all those who have been heartbroken and dressed me in the dress of misery.
