Lovely post Jena and Mazel Tov on your poem being published. Your daughter is very lucky to be hanging out in Acadia. You also tackle some thorny questions which sadly do not currently appear to have solutions amongst those in power though the rest of us more "naive" folks can imagine them. Shavua Tov.
Jena, I was glad to see you found some time to just BE, with nature, with your child, with your one wild and precious life. And I'm deeply grateful for your wonderful Tisha B'Av poem and the access to the literary supplement. At this impossibly fraught time for Jews, it was such a comfort to read "Perhaps there is hope." Sending love and thanks
Love you Jena. Especially appreciated your comments about how being quiet can be misperceived as uncaring (paraphrasing). And yet what can we add, when to say anything at all first requires time to process and reflect inwardly before our expressions are ready to be birthed. By then the news cycle has moved on and circles the earth multiple times!
How do we slow it down enough to feel like our words can matter?
