Big Boys Don't Cry


When I arrived in Israel, I found the country overpopulated, dry, devoid of superficial beauty. That perception was maintained until only a few weeks ago, when a deeper understanding of the beauty surrounding me was established. Now, I cannot express the feelings I feel about what surrounds me, like beautiful, alien music. And no, my eyes were not filled with tears when I wrote that. There is, as you suspected, a greater level of understanding to be obtained here.

I believe that I am walking towards a corner of a chapter of my life, and soon will come the time to begin a new one. I am both terrified and excited at the prospect of moving to Bahji. Those who have been there might understand why I am anxious.
