Maybe it is some kind of Land-of-Israel miracle that twisted and turned until we met? I'd like to think so. Write more, more, more. I'll be reading, reading, reading. In a poetry book by Bertold Brecht on my parents shelf in the house of my childhood I read the following quote from a Chinese medieavle poet he chose to use as his motto. I hope you understand this, I don't think any writer/poet should ask more of their readers: "הרעים יראים טלפיך, הטובים שמחים לחינך. כזאת וכזאת חפצתי לשמוע על שירי". love you woman.
