athenagrey: (Seer)
the autumnal equinox,
this time of harvest and introspection
shares themes with Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot.
I will bake my apples,
while you dip yours in honey.
we will both take stock of our lives
and realize than endings
are preludes to beginnings.
we are drawn to be outdoors;
well, I always am.
my holiday is enriched by knowing
that you walk a similar path.
why must people see their differences
more brightly than their commonalities?
why have the leaders of israel and palestine
never considered the sacrifices
of both the peoples,
torn in turn from their homelands
by the blind vision
of righting ancient wrongs?
we are not so different after all.
day is night is day.
i am you.

Blessings!
