2009 Middle East Travel Seminar

It is the night before Israel and all through the house
not a creature is stirring not even my three cats
They all three have chosen to sleep on my suitcase and
tomorrow I will be removing cat hair galore.

My husband is excited for me, my daughter not so much
The washer is going, the dryer as well
As I prepare to pack that suitcase and get ready to go
I thank the Holy One for the opportunity to see
locations I have studied in HCE.

I will miss everyone including all those at Portland Avenue
where I know they are praying for me
I am so filled with anticipation of how my spirit will be filled
when I sit near the Sea of Galilee and meditate.

That's enough bad poetry. I hope I can sleep tonight!!!
