anticipation of pilgrimage to
holy land for the christian
state of israel for the jew
and palestine for the arab
jerusalem, ironically named
“foundation of peace”,
salem (shalom) means
“wholeness, unbrokeness”
yet real shalom eludes us all
land divided
walls broken down
relationships strained
how will diverse people live together in sacred space?
who will take a vow of peace and keep a promise?
it is a land of no lesser miracles!
“The Lord watch between me and thee…” see you when i return!
