“Say you have seen an ordinary bit of what is real, the infinite fabric of time that eternity shoots through, and time’s soft-skinned people working and dying under slowly shifting stars. Then what?” – Annie Dillard A note to begin: I sometimes worry about writing about this situation in any kind of analytical way. I emphatically believe that the most acute attention should be focused on the very center of suffering: the relentless onslaught on Palestinians trapped in Gaza, now corralled into even more dense confinement like Rafah, the opportunism by Israeli extremists in the West Bank to ruthlessly pillage land and homes from Palestinians, the hostages suffering in Hamas captivity, the peace activists on all sides that want an end to this violence, everyone living in daily terror amidst this escalation of war.
Thank you for speaking my thoughts and passions. I am following you.
