“Others might talk about ‘roots’… That’s not my vocabulary, I don’t like the word ‘roots’, least of all its image. Roots hide in the soil, twist in the mud, grow in the dark; they keep the tree captive, from its birth, and feed it in exchange for blackmail: ‘If you’re free, you die!’… “I belong to a tribe that has been wandering since time immemorial in a desert the size of the universe. We leave our homelands when the spring dries up, our homes are tents of stone, and our nationalities are a matter of dates or ships.

د.ا4.26The Book of Roses and Ashes – Letters between Muhammad Shukri and Muhammad Barrada – the writer Muhammad Shukri

He was not drawn to the “myth” of his past, but was open to his present, living as close as possible to the complex reality accelerating in its transformations.
