It’s a quiet night in Sderot. It’s been quiet for some time now. It’s easy to forget that there have been times intermittently that kassams came raining down on this city every day. But for several weeks, it’s been quiet. And I, for one do not miss the rockets.
Here it is 2 AM, and as I finally sit down to write a blog – may it become a habit (amen) – the greatest disturbance is not the night air. And it is not the desparation of one who daily struggles with all the things that go wrong in life. It is a cockroach – peering out from under the chair. Looking for that one moment when I’m not paying attention, so he can locomote himself to the other side of the room.
Most cockroaches I’ve seen, I have tried to – as humanely as possible – escort them out the door, or ceremoniously show them the window.
But lately I’ve seen fit to put my foot down, literally.
