Rock River

Sitting here, in our family home, drinkin tea n' smokin' hubbly bubbly with mama, Pascale making labneh. My older brother, i still call BJ (Ben Junior) from my tiny days but the rest call him Ben since he owned a restaurant... its more respectable, sits at the table next to us and my pa, Ibrahim (Ben in English) is outside in the garden. Little brother, i nicknamed bibi, is in the garage n' lil sis, Chantelle, is workin. My second little brother, Karim, left for Los Angeles yesterday n' today in a few hours for New Zealand with his love, Layli. I came back for his birthday and a few other series of event that is about to take place. I believe this photo of a rock on the river was taken in Lebanon. Makes me laugh because of my mom's english today "find a rock river" for a weight to help drain the water from the labneh. My hearts too with my chosen loves afar.

It's raining outside, i closed all the windows in the house, still feels open.
