Normal is long gone. But we must dance and laugh and live and love again as we navigate today's crazy upside down world. And we must fight to maintain our humanity, push fear into the background when it rears its ugly head, AFTER we assess it. Sanity for me lies in knowing God is Sovereign, still on the the throne; keeping my eyes on Jesus...not always easy when staying informed. Catching the start of a downward spiral, checking it and turning it around. Prayer and music always help. Calling friends. Lifting others up.
This is powerful. I can't imagine the collective PTSD yet need-to-move-on in Israel.
How can one trust the Palestinians again? Especially after learning of the Palestinians who on the one hand were friends with Israelis living on the Kibbutz's yet then gave Hamas intel and maps of those Kibbutz's.
Your body needed a break. Hope you're feeling better.
"Especially after learning of the Palestinians who on the one hand were friends with Israelis living on the Kibbutz's yet then gave Hamas intel and maps of those Kibbutz's."
If I give those sworn to destroy me the tools to do so, should I expect this display of arrogant delusion to cause them a change of heart? No, Hashem will punish me for being a fool who returns to his foolishness.
Keep it up and Israel will have its Constantinople moment.

Normal has a way of seeping back in. But it is a new normal. It is what it is.

I should have thought of that "collective PTSD" term. Excellent way of putting it!
