The Getaway Show (S2E7) – Yasiin Bey i Marokko<\/span>
This is for my favourite band \u2013 the human beings,
The faithful, the graceful, the tragic and the classic,
The evidence of things unseen, the book of light,
The mansions of the moon, the bones of Firaun,
Recently discovered and everything but new,
The doubters\u2019 doubts about it never made it untrue,
Life, the gift, peace after pressure,
Can’t remember how you came and wouldn\u2019t bet on how you’ll exit,
From the start, the only thing certain is the end,
Promised to all and none know not when,
Heartbreak from yesterday is a fret for tomorrow,
I leave today filled with anxiety and hollow,
If you pray don’t worry, if you worry don’t pray,
I got that from Umi, it\u2019s a poem I heard her say,
From the tall palace walls, to the mean-teeth streets,
I hope you get what you want, and that you want what you need,
Amen.
So much beauty we forget to be reminded,
That you can be anywhere and find it,
So much beauty we forget then get reminded,
That you can be anywhere, everywhere, and find it,
Mashallah.
-Yasiin Bey<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Two people sit as close to the sea as they can, witnessing the sunset through the calming poetry of the waves. A world they are part of, and a world they can call home. Listening with all their senses, they hear the performance of life\u2019s orchestra, as it is told in each given moment.\u00a0
And by the ebbing life of the water, Yasiin Bey tells a story:<\/p>

A story about this life we all share. Of the tragedies that will come, but also the proof of light we can all bear witness to.\u00a0<\/p>

Within the poem lies an admiration for the shared conditions we are all bound by. What a gift life is\u2014but also how the heart, in its lifetime, will encounter sorrow and pain.
For tragedy will, inevitably, come to all of us. But it should not awaken fear of living, or make us doubt the beauty.\u00a0
On the contrary, we should stand in awe of this life we\u2019ve been given, and through presence, old truths of gratitude will be rediscovered as something entirely new.\u00a0
Life exists all around us<\/i><\/em>, this is the reminder we return to again and again, in joy and in difficulty.
With the wind behind us, we often smile at the poetry of existence \u2014 but in the journey we never expected (where everything collapses), we rarely allow gratitude to take hold of us.<\/p>

In these reflections, we at the magazine have come to understand that one can speculate endlessly about one\u2019s life and wish for the fulfillment of aspirations. But again and again, we find that the only certainty we can lean into is the poetry of coincidence.
And so, we acknowledge a new kind of direction\u2014one that can always be followed, regardless of goals or desires: A compass of love.<\/i>\u00a0
<\/em><\/p>

In this way, our journey will always be the right one, no matter where we end up. Of course, we may have goals, dreams, wishes, and ideas about this life.\nBut if our true north is the love we give to the world\u2014and not the love we receive \u2014 then we will always<\/i><\/em> move in the right direction and find union with the world around us.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
