Thank you, Shari, for this beautiful, heart-wrenching story. I am heartsick these days because of the horrific insanity now unfolding in Israel, as in Ukraine, or Burma, or Azerbaijan, or Sudan, or Syria, or...how many have I missed? All we can do, as Gandhi and other wise teachers have often reminded us, is--to quote Bob Dylan--"don't hate nothing at all except HATRED!" For hatred is a form of subjective involvement with the hated object; we become spiritually indistinguishable from our "enemies" the minute we succumb to hatred. Please keep speaking truth to power--mindfully, strategically, relentlessly.
