When the Ordinary Becomes Extraordinary
A reflective writing workshop with Gaza-based writer Shahd Alnaami.
“We didn’t notice the ordinary
because it never asked to be noticed.
It was always there.
Waiting.
Holding our days quietly.

Electricity that returned.
A house we knew how to find.
A market with full shelves.
Laughter that didn’t need a reason.

Then life stopped being automatic.

And suddenly,
we learned how much the ordinary
had been carrying us.

This workshop is a space to pause.
To look again.
And to write what we once took for
granted.”
