Sometimes I forget to update these posts because so much is happening that I can’t keep up with the news.  These last weeks have been bubbling with an undercurrent of violence – stabbings, shootings, threats, hatred everywhere.  Just now a journalist was shot to death in Um El Fahm, and although no more news is available, I have been so absorbed in watching for updates I didn’t remember to write here.  The anger, the uncertainty, is everywhere, and alongside it an exaggerated hunger for society and community.  Like the last fire of Rome.
