Thank you very much. I fell asleep for a minute and I had a horrible dream they were tearing my home down. Scooping up my trees and plants without allowing me to at least save my plants. I can not even imagine what the Palestinians are living through.

“…Will raise for you a living monument of love,

And joy, and laughter,

And black hands and white hands clasped as one,

And a song that reaches the sky…”
