Am I the only one who's got a broken circadian rhythm?
It's that internal clock that tells you when you're supposed to be awake or asleep. Being indoors this long has thrown off all forms of normalcy, including when or how we dream. I'm sure for some, it's also a question of what we dream about. And dreams are the topic of the hour: the ones we are still holding onto and the few that need to be heartbreakingly let go of because of the cement blocks that can't ignore our new gravity. 

I keep hearing "we haven't hit bottom yet" and that constant anticipation for the real descent is leaving me in prolonged weightlessness, like when a rollercoaster goes over the hump. The differences being that you didn't choose this ride and you're screaming internally.

A sunrise. Soft towels. A clip of an old film from the 50s. Cat purrs. The slow billowing smoke of a put-out match. Once again, we are reduced to grasping for the little joys that can keep you trudging through the mud.

Love & olives,
Farrah

THE WINE ZINE 04
I wrote a piece about the work of the Heliopolis Cooperative and Couvent Rouge, featuring photos by Ayla Hibri, and it ended up on the cover of The Wine Zine's latest issue! You can order a hard copy now on pre-sale.
Digital version coming soon!

The transition of crops in Bekaa's Deir el Ahmar from cannabis to grapevines is an inspirational story and it was also featured in Episode 1 of the B for Bacchus podcast.

RECYCLING WINE BOTTLES
Ziad Abi Chaker's bins of recycled bottles go to GGRIL, supporting the last glass-blowers in South Lebanon's Sarafand.

If you drink Domaine Wardy bottles, you can also drop them off in Zahle or Tahweeta or call for pickup and you'll receive a small refund!

UPCYCLING CORKS
Do you have corks piling up during lockdown? Hold on to them! We'll take them off your hands and use them to make soundproofing panels for better podcast sound quality!
