"Now let’s look at a school system. I hadn’t originally meant to write about
them. but it strikes me that I have a set of experiences that most people
writing for an English-speaking audience don’t, and I’d be remiss, at this
hour, not to share them.
I know that the intensity and scale of the horrors happening now—the degree of
suffering and pain, the unfathomable number of Palestinian civilians—children,
families, innocents—killed, the reports still emerging about Hamas’ brutality,
the siege limiting humanitarian support in Gaza, the hostages still not
home—pales in comparison to this little story I’m about to tell. I hesitated to
share it at all because it seems so insignificant now.
But please God, it seems that we might be near a moment of possible
pause—respite for Palestinian civilians and return of hostages. May this herald
the end of the bloodshed and the beginning of a true political solution.
And I remain convinced that the way home can always be found by following the
people who have been working all along for the world we must have.
Who refuse to demonize, as easy as it is to do.
Who remain dogged in their commitment not only to the vision of another world,
but to building it, now.
Even when things seem hard and painful and hopeless. As they have for so long.
We must look to those teaching truth and liberation now, and let them teach us
the way.
We must follow them.
So here is one small story, buried in the context of much larger work."
