GeekyArtistArabWoman - Lubzi

The juice of my heart

I call myself Lubzi. I am from Palestine. I live there too
I am a blend of cultures, a salad of sounds, colors & words. I like to create. I love learning. I aspire to inspire. I seek freedom, harmony, peace and justice. I like to be a bridge between hearts and minds, between people from different cultures and backgrounds.
Here you'll find my theatre sound designs, audio art pieces, some of my writings and sketches & all kinds of crazy mixes and audio experiments that I do.

The 'Other'


can you see my colours?
can you not see my colour?

can you see me colourless?
can you hear?
are you listening?
I am you not the other

look! I am white like you
jewish like you
a man like you
look well and you'll see

we are no different
I'm not the other
you are not the other

let me love you
allow yourself to love me back
life is slipping quickly , love me
you fade as I fade..
I am not brown or pink
I am a fetus
can I go back
to the warmth of the womb?
please come in
I am your fetus
your new born
I have no concept of time and space
of nations and divorces
what is conflict??

please don't see me as a colour
don't shove me into your categoties
see ME
can you try?
see me without your conditioning
and your CNN
I am you, you see
when you make me the other you become the other.
what about the trees , the flowers
what about our love
and that burning need to connect
hardwired in our systems
that inherent longing
mine and yours
our eternal unresolved issues
mine and yours

connect
talk
love
allow yourself
the world is falling apart, come
come lets talk hope
our world..
our lives…
your heart and mine
my freedom and yours
the culture of the future
we are the only hope
we are Truth
let me hold you and love you
see me
dont think of yourself as the other

when I try to open up to you
my tongue gets tied
fearing you
lets talk with no words
can you look into my eyes?
right into my soul?
and show me yours?

is that too scary?
