We’ve been planning to go to the demonstration tonight all week.  We worked out the times, the route, where we would park and how we would walk to get to Habima.  

And we thought to have our lunch with the kids early so we’d have time to clean up and rest.

But after our luncheon conversations and the clean-up I decided it was not a good idea.  1.  I worked too hard cooking and cleaning and can’t walk the miles I thought we’d transverse with ease.  2.  I’m not clear any more that we are not just deepening the gap between the sides.  We’re certainly not opening any dialogues.

I have to rethink my approach to contemporary politics, as well as my approach to my children and cooking for them.  

As if it will make a difference.
