I will sum up the ups....
This morning I listened to the news that sounded hopeful about a truce in Gaza within a few days. Spent an hour at SoFrishman on the beach reading my book (Millenium 1) with a cup of coffee, under the sunshine. Went with my cousin Netania and with Adit to see a really interesting documentary at the Cinematheque, "Unmistaken Child" by Nati Baratz. Paid a visit to my aunt Rosi. All this on the bike, relaxed....
Now the downs...
This morning I prepared my bag since I have to fly really early again tomorrow morning to Amsterdam - the taxi will pick me up at 5.15. Tonight I watched the news. The horrible news. With more killing. More injured. More tragedies. More uncertainties. When will it stop? I said that this blog will not treat any political issue and it won't. However, how can I pretend that life just continues normally while this is happening? Would I feel any different if I was still living in Holland? One thing is sure: even though life does go on, especially here in Tel Aviv, what happens does not leave me indifferent. On the contrary. I feel sad, angry, frustrated and involved. I really need to hope that peace will come one day, starting with truce in Gaza.
