Ezi’s mother left us an amaryllis over twenty years ago.  

Not only does it bloom every year, but has given us a few other beautiful children.  With flowers like these why should I care that a rocket alarm woke me at 7:20 in the morning.  I found myself down in the shelter with the others while I was still sleeping.  But I couldn’t get back to sleep and the day filled up incredibly quickly. The highlight was riffing with Ronen Shapira.  He has me remember amazing poems I didn’t even realize I wrote, and make amazing music to them with his quarter-tone keyboard.  Ezi even filmed a few = maybe I’ll put them on youtube.  I love working with music.  

It helps me forget our evil leaders, briefly.
