Aphelion: What I wrote to the stars

By Salma Al-Sawaf

Aphelion: Writing to the Stars and BeyondIn the deepest point of an orbit, where a planet drifts farthest from its sun to experience the coldest moments of its journey, one finds themselves trapped in 'Aphelion.' It is more than an astronomical term; it is the space between who we were and who we are struggling to become.This book is not an attempt to simplify the cosmos, but a bold journey into the core of human bewilderment. It is a voice for those who have found themselves watching the light from a cold distance, and for those who have loved from a remote place they did not choose. In these pages, we do not chase easy answers; we embrace the questions we are afraid to speak aloud-about the love that breaks us, the grief we refuse to abandon, and the stars that burn in silence while we watch, believing we are alone in this fading light.Between prose poems and literary pieces that oscillate between ambiguity and clarity, you will find a reflection of your own hidden struggles. It is an invitation to sit with your own 'Aphelion, ' to acknowledge that we are human above all else, and that sorrow is not a weakness, but the only testimony that we were here and that we loved deeply enough to deserve this struggle. Do you dare to join us on the journey back to warmth, or will you choose to remain in your own orbit, shining with borrowed light?
