Some of this year's holiday cards will show a part of this beautiful tatreez tree (Shajara / شجرة) ornament from Hebron.

Tirazain is an amazing archive & library of tatreez patterns.

Have a look, follow a pattern and keep tatreez alive 🇵🇸

In response to this post

I found the poem I will use when having this year's cards printed.

Thanks for finding the words, Margaret Atwood!


I have sent or handed out this year's holiday cards, so I can finally share the poem I had printed on the front of these folded cards.

A beautifully poignant poem by Margaret Atwoord:

We hear nothing these days
from the ones in power

Why talk when you are a shoulder
or a vault

Why talk when you are
helmeted with numbers

Fists have many forms;
a fist knows what it can do

without the nuisance of speaking:
it grabs and smashes.

From the inside or under
words gush like toothpaste.

Language, the fist
proclaims by squeezing,
is for the weak only.
