logic。 Knowing this; I also imagined I was continually able to see her。 Thus was

I better able to understand Ibn Arabi’s notion that love is the ability to make

the invisible visible and the desire always to feel the invisible in one’s midst。

I  could  infer  that  Shekure  was  continually  watching  me  because  I’d  been

listening to the sounds ing from within the house and to the creaking of

its  wood  boards。  At  one  point;  I  was  absolutely  certain  she  was  with  her

children  in  the  next  room;  which  opened  onto  the  wide  hallway…cum…

anteroom; I could hear the children pushing; shoving and sparring with each

other  while  their  mother;  perhaps;  tried  to  quiet  them  with  gestures;

threatening glances and knit brows。 Once in a while I heard them whispering

carnation petal; which I’d fast produced from the folds of my robe; onto the

tray and kissed each boy on the cheeks。 Later still; I heard laughter and giggling

from within。
