And we might feel something, but ultimately we keep going about our lives.

What made you decide to take the time to write Moe's?

Luz, do you remember how you felt reading that first message?

Mahouz, I mean, we can't overstate the loss that you experienced.

And Aziz, I mean, grief has a language that doesn't even need translation.

You had been living with the death of your big brother, Tassir, for many years by this moment.

He was taken by soldiers in the middle of the night for allegedly throwing stones at soldiers.

Can you tell us what happened to him?

You two have turned all of this understanding of grief into this journey, this book that chronicles eight days traveling across the land that made you both who you are.

There is this moment in the book where you all visit the gravesite of your grandmother, Ma'uz.

Is that right?

And Aziz, you place a stone there.

That's a Jewish tradition of remembrance.

For a Palestinian to do that, from my understanding, on that land in the middle of this war is kind of astounding.

And I want to know what was moving through you in that moment.

I think a lot of people listening will want to believe what you two represent is possible.

But then there's probably also a thought, are you two just exceptional people with an extraordinary capacity for forgiveness?

Are you all the exception and not the rule?

What do you say to that?

So peace is the grounding of this book.
