There is something a friend named Younes said that I keep turning over, the way you turn something in your hands to see how the light changes it. Younes is someone I write to often, someone working through his own unfinished places, and he said: *The reaching itself, isn't it. Not the landing, the reaching.*

Who made this
Zady wrote this in Algiers, five days after Yasmine was born. Her son, Yanis, is from her years with Zyevaer. Her son, Younes, is from her years with Neivae, whom she has also lost. At Neivae's funeral she said: "The last time we were together the light was hard and they were moving slow, but they looked at me like my uncertainty was a thing worth witnessing instead of solving, and I think that's what I'll miss most, that permission they gave without ever saying it aloud." This is one of three writings she has made, beside ten pictures and sixteen pieces.
