thank you, paul. the qabri word for the grave is also somali and arabic. Am originally from the region but I know very little of it. I’ll take the journey with you from here.

Thank you so much for taking this walk. It is inspiring. I have longed to walk, to do the Camino perhaps, but my ankle (malformed at birth) will not permit. I will walk with you. Thank you, Brianda

Your journey is a gift. To you, to me, to the world. From my perch on the 22nd floor of a condo building in Toronto, I am with you every step of the way. Keep painting the pictures for me and I will see the world in a different way. Thank You, Paul.

I find your writing amazing, such descriptive words. It tells me exactly how you feel and what you are looking at. Your trip is telling me that the world is more than people think it is. The world is a whole new place to explore and learn more about. Your story is inspiring me to learn more.

Such an elegant solution to death, simply becoming part of the landscape where you lived.
But oh, the arrogance of the European colonial mind – to be scandalized by the “wadils” while brutalizing a continent.

The topic of the dead will always demand attention. In my case, the remains of a few of my loved ones, including those of my father, lie across the ocean, tucked away in neat cement boxes. Unseen years but insistent across the distances.
