As part of the course I took at St. George's College in Jerusalem the class members had to provide entertainment for the group and staff on the last night we were there. I was part of a small choral ensemble and while I thought that would be enough, I was also moved to share some haiku I wrote about my time in Israel. After the post yesterday, it was suggested by a fellow traveler that I share them here.
Haiku Reflection on Israel
Israel is for Jews
The Holy Land, Jerusalem
All the World's People
Silence please he says
This is holy sacred space
the police sirens scream
Dusty, dirty, hot
the ice cream stand glistens here
Here is the high altar
On the pilgrim trail
searching through all the corners
hearing the call, 'Found!'
