This is a fan made video inspired by the poem of Mahmoud Derwish, for the song Now and Then from Smokable. It contains a poetic selection of videos from years of travel. It is corresponding to the feelings I had while in my travels. I am here and there, using not a specific language to communicate with all kinds of people, just my bodily movements maybe gestures, are enough to understand each other. As I go further from where I started, reality becomes blurry, I become absent. Maybe the people I met, are heroes in their own mythical stories. However, If there is no absolute reality, then how can one internalize all the experience of being?

`I Don't have the knowledge, whether I am there or here
and I don't know, Whether my body is my word
or my word is my body
However, in both cases I am absent
So why do you open the doors of Interpretation wide open on that road that fades into fantasy and ancient time, between Areeha and Jerusalem
Forgive me for my absence from reality
So I can forgive you for your departure into legends.`
