  • Summary

  • What does it mean to be able to slow down, observe, listen, and reflect? Climate activist, Human rights and land defender, Ayisha Siddiqa, shares the story of herself and her community in Northern Pakistan. It’s a story full of pride, but also of grief and loss. It’s one of migration, of land and of nature; and how poetry and the pen are powerful tools to process and protest. This story highlights how important those precious moments are where we can stop and breathe in the beauty; deeply  human moments of longing and belonging.
