What Arabic saying does Jude think of when Sarah tells her she’s lucky that she knows Arabic?

Other Words for Home

A

Her luck splits open rocks

You’re so lucky, she says,
I wish I spoke Arabic.
At first I don’t understand why she is saying this
But then I see the way she looks longingly at
Uncle Mazin and Mama who are
in the kitchen
speaking in Arabic
and laughing.
Lucky, I whisper to myself that night.
I wonder if I say it enough times,
if it will start to feel true,
come true.
There is an Arabic proverb that says:
Her luck splits open rocks.
I am still waiting to feel like the force,
and less like the rocks.
