Tonight from a hotel room in Jerusalem, the conference over, a day to be a tourist before the interminable flight back to the U.S., I'm thinking about my experiences on the West Bank these past 5 days. Has it only been 5 days? When have I been so completely immersed in an experience as these last 5 days?
The google headings are in Hebrew tonight after 5 nights of flowing Arabic. This neighborhood of Jerusalem seems to be all about orthodox Jews in black suits, fedoras and ringlets, Palestinian street urchins scratching for entertainment or money, and cats. Everywhere are cats.
And I miss my Palestinian friends. Their kindness, generosity and openness. I look forward to the next time we meet. Until then, I wish them peace. I wish them peace.
