A state of Monologue: Terror or Resistance

Posted on by

Another brilliant analysis of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict from a Palestinian scholar, a mother of two living in the midst of it, and speaking the truth as only she can… Read this, and you will have a deeper understanding, and, hopefully, a deeper compassion for those who live in the midst of war…

My sister: “ did you see that video? The news? They crucified that poor man. They left the little boy bleeding. They are inhuman. They are pathetic. They are criminals.

My Israeli friend: “ yes but, he tried to kill an Israeli? Do you think it is ok to kill Israelis?”

Between the two monologues, trying to convince my sister that it inhumane, true. But yet, we should think of the moment before. What if it was one of our children who were stabbed and the stabber is on the ground?

I was asking my Israeli friend in response: “ stabbing was not right. But killing and lynching was a normal response?

There is this gap where both sides stop seeing or comprehending the other side completely. As if it is a complete wired zone. No tolerance, no understanding, and a total sense of compassion are completely lost.

Composing a new poem….


Hajime…. In the past, I have said I’d be taking a day off, but, posted anyway, if only a re-blog of an older Pearl. Today, I’m taking the day off, for real. No post, other than what you see here now. I also won’t be visiting other blogs, other than what my whimsy demands, or making comments, unless I just can’t help myself. I need time to straighten out some issues which have gotten crooked, metaphorically speaking, and don’t wish to complicate matters more than necessary. I’ll be back, most likely tomorrow, but, at this point, it may be longer. Ambiguity, unfortunately, is a rather large part of life, and I can’t remove it in this case, nor would I wish to try, as it is good for us to deal with it, to stay in practice.

All that said, hopefully to good purpose, I now bid thee adieu, from the intro, which has evolved for today into a closing section. See y’all in a day or two, ffolkes. I’ll be back, on that you may rely….

Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy
and everyone else, too…

When I works, I works hard.
When I sits, I sits loose.
When I thinks, I falls asleep.

Which is Why….

Sometimes I sits and thinks,
   and sometimes,
I just sits.
