Your Morning Djebar
For Wednesday, August 5th, 2026
“Love, if I managed to write it down, would approach a critical point: there where lies the risk of exhuming buried cries, those of yesterday and as well as those of a hundred years ago. But my sole ambition in writing is constantly to travel to fresh pastures and replenish my water skins with an inexhaustible silence.”
― Assia Djebar, Fantasia: An Algerian Cavalcade

I know exactly what striving to replenish is. It's getting to the seventies being able to write like never before. Not that I've been able to pull it off, but I can sense it's out there.
