Look! Up in the Sky! It's a Bird, it's a Plane, No, it's . . .


Magen David--Shield of David--struggling to form over Haifa on Yom Ha-Atzma'ut, Independence Day. But no, it is just light, and hardly even an imperfect Magen David. Imagination grasping at a suggestion based on a hint come out of an emotion. Mother Mary in a Marmite lid. Baba Sali in a dish of khoumous.

Yeah, something like that.

We all see what we want to see.

And some people want to see Signs from the Heavens. And miracles. And things of incorruptable, everlasting value.

Geez, some people!

Lol. Extraordinary spelling of khoumous btw...It somehow seems several degrees more exotic now. With even a hint of the Teutonic to it...

Last trip abroad, English-speakers in America seemed to confuse their HUMas and their hamas. I won't even start with those who like taheenie in their humas . . .
