DANDELION
The first of a year’s abundance of dandelions
is this single kernel of bright yellow
dropped on our path by the sun, sensing
that we might need some marker to help us
find our way through life, to find a path
over the snow-flattened grass that was
blade by blade unbending into green,
on a morning early in April, this happening
just at the moment I thought we were lost
and I’d stopped to look around, hoping
to see something I recognized. And there
it was, a commonplace dandelion, right
at my feet, the first to bloom, especially
yellow, as if pleased to have been the one,
chosen from all the others, to show us the way.

This week we have no words to add, as we continue to fervently hope for the return of our hostages, an end to the war, the return of security to residents of the Western Negev and the North, and better days in our beloved country,
Alon, Bat-Ami, Dror, Einat and the entire Chubeza team
