Bassam Aramin was interviewed yesterday on the BBC News Hour. This Palestinian spoke along with Robi Damelin, an Israeli; both parents lost their children to violence in the Middle East years ago. I met Bassam when I was there in March of this year. He told us about the Parents Circle Families Forum.
When I heard his voice on the radio, I pulled over off the road so I could safely listen to every word and weep.
This morning I heard a homily about when the child shall play over the hole of the snake, in peace (Isaiah 11:1 -9).
I nodded to God, “Ok, I will write more as you lead me.”
Always Bridging 
Thank you for these heartfelt reflections, and for that deeply reassuring verse from Isaiah. Thinking of you, and praying for peace and comfort as you witness the tragedies taking place in a land where you have personal connections. Love and hugs to you, dear friend.
