The Secrets Of Olive Tree

the story it's generation story
The Olive Tree and Exile

Some wounds never fade, and some distances only grow heavier with time. In this chapter, I explore the unshakable grief of exile-the longing for a homeland I cannot return to, the weight of memories that refuse to be forgotten, and the unspoken sorrow of those who carry their roots in their hearts rather than beneath their feet.

At the heart of this story stands the olive tree, a silent witness to generations of loss and resilience. Through her, I find a reflection of my own endurance. She has seen my people displaced, yet she remains. She has weathered storms, yet she still grows. In her presence, I seek solace, a connection to the land that birthed me-a land I can no longer touch but will never abandon.

Through dreams, memories, and the power of storytelling, I hold onto home. I keep it alive in my words, in my poetry, and in the lessons I pass down. Because exile is not the end. As long as I remember, as long as I speak of my land, it will never truly be lost.

One day, beneath that olive tree, I will stand again. And when I do, I will whisper to her: "I never left. I was always here."
