He walks with such confidence,

and plops with no regard

He is joyful these days

in spite of ripping teeth and lack of sleep

He is so wonderful- learning everyday

Morning Poem. mary oliver

Every morning the world is created. Under the orange sticks of the sun the heaped ashes of the night turn into leaves again and fasten themselves to the high branches --- and the ponds appear like black cloth on which are painted islands of summer lilies. If it is your nature to be happy you will swim away along the soft trails for hours, your imagination alighting everywhere. And if your spirit carries within it the thorn that is heavier than lead --- if it's all you can do to keep on trudging --- there is still somewhere deep within you a beast shouting that the earth is exactly what it wanted --- each pond with its blazing lilies is a prayer heard and answered lavishly, every morning, whether or not you have ever dared to be happy, whether or not you have ever dared to pray.

This little boy. More than seven months, living his best life. Screams when I leave the room. Plays with anyone. Eats new foods. And moves by wiggling his tiny little body all around.

Hebr-ish

I keep getting gever and gerev mixed up.

I’m speaking to my three year old student who speaks only Hebrew, but is learning to understand English quite fast. Where are your socks? Afo atah gever? He looks confused. The girls who speak both Hebrew and English giggle from afar. The other teacher says, “Gerev, Malka.” That’s right. And is it “Afo atah Gevrim?” Lo, dear Malka. Afo Garbayim shelach. Oy.

My Hebrish is getting much better, day by day.

Hills Yes.

"I sleep with two bicycles that I drew taped above my bed to remind myself there are heroes in this story. That we are looking out for one another. To have known all of these people, to have felt their protection and love, is something I will never forget.”
