| Rima Najjar in a traditional Palestinian Embroidered Thobe |
Rima
Rima- connected
by family and Palestine.
She travels the world online and on foot,
following the art and the history
of and for Palestine.
Rima's goodness
(her greatness)
has a reach far beyond
the leap of literary awareness
and books, far beyond
the rainbow colors and hues of paint
and tile and trees and flowers in spring
all for and of Palestine.
Rima shares, shares the beauty she finds,
shares the challenges and routes
whereby humans connect
over and over through the years.
Rima shares knowledge and facts
and empathy and compassion
and character
Rima is as exquisite
as the roses her sister tends.
Where music and art for Palestine might be
she is there, in body or spirit
she is there for and of Palestine.
