I have nothing on my mind.
Mid-freefall, as I descend, my mind is blank. Any remnants of worry are washed away as soon as I enter the smooth-as-glass, aqua seawater. Perfect.
Most Fridays, My friend Yossi and I try to meet up for a beach run. We run roughly 5-6 km along to beach to this point at the edge of a hilltop of ruins of the ancient port city of Dor. Nice days we jump in, then run back. This was last Friday.
The weather was perfect. The sea was so clear and blue that we could see perfectly to the bottom of this deep pool, carved between the rocks by the ancients. We didn't know we were being photographed. Some strangers also took advantage of the beautiful day for a photography expedition, then emailed us the photos later. Cool, eh?
My life is not always this perfect, but I guess moments like this are why I am still here in Israel. Since I last wrote around holiday time, I've had many fun adventures, and many trying moments as well.
We had a great time when Hugh was here, including an excellent excursion to Sinai. Check the Flickr link for photos. But then he left and it's been a really LONG time since I've seen him.
My kids are home from school at 1:00, then it's "Ima, Ima, Ima..." with no break until we all fall asleep at around 11:00. Normal stuff, I am not complaining. Chauffeuring to afterschool activities, trying to keep track of each one's busy schedule, feeding, cleaning, etc. The mornings I try to organize, shop, teach/take classes, get some exercise...
Luckily my parents came recently to break up the time until Hugh gets back. We also had some excellent adventures together which you can peek at on the Flickr link.
Less than one month to go until Hugh gets back. Hopefully it will go quickly. Or, I can try to fill the time with more mind-emptying moments. How can I make them last???
