loveeeee these thoughts on absence, Safia. i've been thinking through absences and loss in my own work -- in particular, through the figure of 'sefr' or zero. as you touch on here, it's hard not to slip into a kind of divine, metaphysical meditation on absence as a kind of placeholder for some divine or spiritual (or natural? as in the natural world) content. thank you, as always, for sharing
