We received such wonderful feedback from listeners who were as moved by it.
One audience member did have a question about an article you referenced that your friend wrote called something like “I have never left.” If you’re able to send a link or author that would be great. 
We appreciate you and hope to stay in touch! 
Dear Ceniza of Turbulence platform
Thank you for the link. I value your episode greatly. It is genuine and sincere.
“I have never left” appears in p 276, Chapter: “Charting the Land” in my memoir Mapping my Return.
In 1995 I visited my home Palestine for the first time after 47 years of Al Nakba, armed by my Canadian passport and Israel relaxing rules after Oslo agreement. My daughter Rania was with me visiting Palestine for the first time.
I told the driver (Palestinian from Jerusalem)  to go left, right, look at left, right etc. He was amazed. He was used to visiting Palestinians asking him about places. He was then the guide.
He asked me: Do you live here? Hence the answer: I have never left.
I meant that over the years I was pouring over maps, making new maps and atlases, listing 30,000 place names.
I founded Palestine Land Society in London in year 2000 for this purpose.
The rest is history.
