You'll Know by Yahia Lababidi
You’ll know you’ve finally arrived when you get to the point where you can leave life’s bustling marketplace, empty-handed Smiling easily at merchants as they hawk their wares of fruit and flesh, pausing here and there to admire a fine raiment or strain of song, but not for overlong You’ll know you’ve cleared a hurdle and are home free when you emerge at the end of that entrancing fair unperturbed, without bulging pockets or hungry eyes With absolutely nothing to show for the day’s visit but a small inner triumph that quietly manifests itself in steadying stillness and a companionable aloneness.

This year #Hanukkah begins the same day as #Christmas:

May Light triumph over darkness,
Love over hate,
Hope over cynicism
Peace over violence
& may we never cease believing in Miracles ✨

Blessings to All 🙏🏼

Black text on white background. Poem shown on iPad screen. Text: PALESTINE WAIL Double Bind To secure the world's sympathy Palestinians must be saintly - yet, Israel has universal trust despite continuing to act monstrously. Now, tell us the difference between Palestinians & Hamas? I sigh and say, again, Palestinians are an innocent people who want only to live in peace Caught between a rock, called Israel, and a hard place that is Hamas.
