Light and Dark

St. Louis Hospital lighted up

More tensions at our northern borders today when military posts in Syria were bombed by unknown sources; and Lebanon shot down an Israeli drone. We had hoped that things had quietened down after last week ... but it hasn't. Let's see where it's leading us.

Am still very perturbed by the recent attacks .... arab neighbors ask if I'm ok, if I wanted them to accompany me to go to work or whatever. It's nice that they care ... but the danger is everywhere. I just got another vague warning message this evening. I dread going home from work at night as the streets are dark and I never know what to expect. I try to put it off by taking long walks around the New City ... saying hi to staff at Main restaurant or Mandarin restaurant ... just to make sure they know I'm still alive. There was a pleasant surprise this evening ... I saw St. Louis Hospital all lighted up. It was beautiful. A little brightness in the huge darkness.
