Gaza has passed through the most dangerous time of 2023. After the thunder of hundreds of airstrikes daily that did not stop for three months. You survived and you have a good chance. Though you walked through a highway of death. You made it through.
No one in history has ever had to face what Gaza faced. The
first people to have a tracking system send bomber fleets upon journalists
families and medical workers families. No
other city could adapt to such savagery toward human life. It is an international specter that disturbs
the world peace.
We knew in November 2023 that many in Gaza would not make it
through the netzarim corridor. To stay or go was an impossible choice. Both were taken as prisoners of war, both
were killed. Help comes too late and we are wounded. Now the life path is on an alternate
trajectory.
There is nothing that we could have done to change it. The only choice was to get through it. To stay or go was not a choice, the borders
were closed. Many were killed at
once. We were unable to defend against
an airforce. And such an odorous offense against society that no one should
ever have to experience.
Some things take a lot of time to do. Help is coming, but it
might take a long time. No one knew life would change forever in 2023. You
learned that it doesn’t require overwhelming power to make a big
difference. Somethings need a small move
in the right place at the right time.
No one could ever prepare for the impact of such violence on
the city. The children are helpless. Every
sorrow needs big comfort. You are treasure and Gaza is treasure. You are a
master of this terrain. Inch by inch
with carefulness is the only way to accomplish some tasks.
We need to celebrate our five senses even when it is
hard. The five senses form our sense of self. Deprivation has caused a lot of grief. We must be gentle with ourselves and always
forgive yourself for everything.
Remember how the children celebrate the sensation of being alive.
