Geese In Flight

This morning's flock of geese in flight gives me relief to know that they are returning. For years the geese have not flown overhead, until I heard them this week, a few times. Reassuring, today I heard the honking at daybreak; yesterday in the afternoon.

On this day when a friend is not improving in an oncology unit in Jerusalem, I send the strength of the birds to Yoram ben Bella Miriam, and wish him a Refuah Shleymah.  - Joy Krauthammer

Geese in Flight

Waiting for the sun

looking toward the Old City

Honks I hear.

To catch the flock

I turn West

then quickly return

to face East
and the rising sun.

Mizrach of Glory.

only days later, Yoram left us on Shabbat, surrounded by family

and was buried the next day on Purim.
