whoever brought me here
notes on where i come from
Article voiceover
whoever brought me here will have to take me home.
we are left on a shoal and told to walk
when we don't know even to breath. watch, i return to the place
where a child is passed from one mother to another.
they say there's no memory of what came before.
i remember everything.
the brilliant darkness. the way i was made by
water and dissolved back to it. selah.
notes - the opening line of the above piece comes from rumi’s poem “whoever brought me here”, translated by coleman barks (book here).
