'Bucharest was in a time of its own, we were told; each hour measured by small distractions, preserved between a weight that kept mouths shut and curtains drawn. Like autumn leaves, the past dried into a shape that outlived itself. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.' (Publication abstract)

I thought about this a lot during Ramadan. Watching the sun across the day and the moon across the month. Feeling time in when I woke up, when I started feeling hunger pangs, when I had to lower my blinds so the sun wouldn’t give me a headache. The lunar calendar comes out of sync with the solar one a little more each year. I feel a renewed sense of grief for my friend who died shortly before Eid a few years ago. The actual anniversary of her death isn’t for another three weeks.' (Adayla Nash Hussein , Editorial introduction) 2020 pg. 49-56
