Skip to search - Accesskey = s. Palestine is always on my mind. By Taryn Fivek on January 13, 2010. It’s been nearly six months since I left Palestine and returned back home. Much has happened since then, but Palestine is still on my mind every day. I’ve done my best to write about my experiences and share them with others, but I still feel like a sideline spectator, seeing the streets I loved torn with strife on the news.

The Good Samaritan | في نابلس

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. Posted in History of Nablus. By Taryn Fivek on June 29, 2009. If you’ve read the Bible, perhaps you’ve heard of the Samaritans. One of the mountains that cradles Nablus happens to be Mt. Gerezim, the holiest site to the Samaritans. I went there yesterday to film an interview with one of the elders there. He told me many stories about the Samaritans, their history, and their relationship with the people of Nablus. Samaritans praying on Mt. Gerezim. Your knack for capturing ...

You can stand up close to the minbar and see where the bullets ricocheted off the marble pillars. Bend down and kiss the grate in the ground where candles burn down low, illuminating the cave where Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Leah are supposedly buried.

Hello Heartbreak | في نابلس
https://finablus.wordpress.com/2009/07/26/hello-heartbreak
Skip to search - Accesskey = s. By Taryn Fivek on July 26, 2009. When I was very young, my mother took me to see. All that anticipation, and I couldn’t even stomach the ending. To this day I’ve never seen the end. The characters and the story was so vivid and so real that I couldn’t bear to think of things reaching a conclusion for me. Now, here, I am reaching the end of my stay in Nablus. Instead of pitching a fit in the aisle, I have grown older and wiser and now understand that life is not like.

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. By Taryn Fivek on July 7, 2009. O those who pass between fleeting words. Carry your names, and be gone. Rid our time of your hours, and be gone. Steal what you will from the blueness of the sea. And the sand of memory. Take what pictures you will, so that you understand. That which you never will:. How a stone from our land builds the ceiling of our sky. From you steel and fire, from us our flesh. From you yet another tank, from us stones. It is time for you to be gone.

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. By Taryn Fivek on July 6, 2009. When people ask me where I am from, I do not hesitate to say that I am American. I try and deliver it as neutrally as possible, as if I’m stating the weather or the time. To me it is a fairly neutral issue, after all. I happened to be born somewhere. What of it? And sometimes this is all that it is, something neutral like the weather. Sometimes it is different. 8221; he said to his friend. “Just seven years! Every time a jet screams overhead...

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. Children in the Old City. Posted in Children of Nablus. By Taryn Fivek on June 23, 2009. Unfortunately, it’s not becoming for an international to take photographs of the Old City. This is mainly because the Old City has been and still is a primary target for the Israelis when they invade Nablus. Laquo; It’s been a while. Subscribe to comments with RSS.

An old woman shuffles closer with a small infant in her arms. You watch as the turnstile swings around dangerously. “Careful! 8221; you say, trying to keep the baby from being crushed by the crowd. Click. Click. Another three through. The old woman hands you her baby when you sit down and the baby drools on your shoulder all the way...
