== INSPIRATION ==
Nomad people move incessantly from place to place… so how does they define the concept of ‘home’? Is it something they are actually attached to? Something they need to come back to? This question originates in my story: dual-citizenship, living in-between France and the United Kingdom, moving house regularly within each country. I found my answer in the documentary ‘I am Maris’. Maris Degener asserts that home is our own creative construction. She says ‘[w]e are not supposed to fear feeling homesick for the rest of our lives. We are supposed to be the unifier who creates [our] community.’ Hence, I understood my home could be anywhere, by surrounding myself ‘with my people’ (as can be heard in this track’s lyrics.)

== INSPIRATION ==
Forever, my inner child has asked herself where buses go to sleep at night. Buses, like magical alive beings, help people in their daytime travels but mysteriously disappear (or at least rarefy!) at dark. I pursued this perspective by narrating the adventures of a bus and its passengers, and thus, the bond they can share when this means of transport is honoured.

== TRANSLATION FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS ==
When I first saw you, I understood the most essential part of the Universal Language, the one all beings are capable of hearing in their heart. It is called Love. I also understood that, one day, the levanter had brought to me your perfume, and that I had loved you before I even knew you existed.

	I am a woman of the desert and I am proud of it. I want my man to also wander as free as the wind that shapes the dunes. I am a woman of the desert, but above all, I am a woman. And it is true that I cry whenever you leave. However, it is not the departure that pains me: I fear you will never return. But… Mektoub: if I am really a part of your Dream, I know you will come back one day.

*I am the Alchemist of the desert.
I am here to give you Love, strength, faith.
Go on, live and become.*

	Between silence and a smile, my lips finally decide to smile, and that is certainly an omen. Here I come, my love. I am on my way.

MEKTOUB: Arabic word/expression meaning ‘it is written’

Mantras from Sanskrit: 
-	OM: universal root mantra
-	OM KLEEM ATMANE NAMAHA: I bow down to my Divine highest Self.
