Today I learned that, for the second time in a week, my flight home has been changed, and will likely change again . . . likely as far out as May 19, making my trip impossible to begin with. So, right now I am not sure if I am going to travel at all. 

I am safe. My family is safe. These things are indeed blessings.

I found a wonderful travel agent who is working on helping me. She has told me that the only airline continuing to reliably fly is El Al. I am not giving up just yet, but it is, as you might imagine, frustrating.

As my trip has gotten closer and closer I have started to have a kind of quickening of the heart that comes when I get close to travelling to Israel. There is something special and connected to the deepest parts of me--a kind of wordless yearning--that wakens. I will be sad if I have to return it to its soft corner in my heart.
