نــتأرجــح بــين زمــنين، يــمر الــعمر بــينهما، ونــحن نــحاول بــناء شــيء مــا يشــبه الــبيت... أراقــب أمــي وهــي تــقص خــصلات شــعر صــديــقاتــها الــلواتــي يــعرفــن أنــها لــم تــكن مــصففة شــعر فــي يــوم مــن الأيــام، لــكن هــنا، فــي المــنفى، لا يــثقن إلا بــبعضهن بعضاً. اســترق الــسمع إلــى أحاديثهن، عن الحب، الحزن، الفرح، الألم وكل القصص التي يروينها عن الحرب. معاً، صنعن أسرة صغيرة، منزلا معلقا ما بين الأ رض والوطن، فأجد نفسي في وسط الطريق، بين مكانين، لعلّ روحي تستطيع الشعور بالانتماء.
