Milk and Honey

In case you've been wondering where I've been the last four or so months...

It's been somewhere like bliss.

Jerusalem.Galilee.Egypt.Jordan. 

And now that my life is nice and dull again, I'm sure I'll once more be a full-time blogstress.

BUT

"Your name will stain my lips forever,

like a seraph's kiss, untold,

if I forget thee, golden city,

Jerusalem of Gold."

Salam and Shalom,

one forever-changed Banana

p.s. For a more detailed history, dearfriend Kali and I kept up something of a Holy Land blog. click-a-roo-roo!

In thirty six days

I will be here.I am so grateful.
And I can't wait till it feels real.

Happy Belated Shalom!

Monday was the magical day when this dream

became a reality.

My mother had the letter over the phone and a stoic disposition. I was waiting to sell my internal fluids for fifteen meesly dollars. I was worried about both.

"Give me a hint? A baby hint? A wee willie winky hint?"

To which she replied,

"Shalom, babay!!!!
