an awakening
A friend wants to walk to Jerusalem with her horse Enu...
"Why Jerusalem?", I ask.
"It is a special place. And it seems to me that if there is one place humanity can seek answers, Jerusalem must be it."
And we begin talking about the strife raging about the city. About Kenize Mourad's book, telling stories of lives caught between borders...Voices from the Arab-Israeli conflict echo on a train miles away, headed from Oxford to St Andrews.
Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon - names with a familiar ring to them- and yet I have managed to stay blind to the unrest in the Middle East all these years.....
the 108 years have finally descended upon me...
I wonder that the world hasn't caved under their weight, and till when it is going to hold up...
