I'll be off line for a while so that I can get settled in Israel. Please check back soon. I'm sure that there will be plenty to chat about. Shalom, Suzanne

Musings on the Middle East
Live always at the edge of poetic possibilty, even in the face of severe prose. - Walter Bruggemann
From a Thin Place
Journal. Diary. Copious Notes. Musings. Thought. Reflection. Observation. Welcome to A Thin Place. All of this, maybe more, is a record of my year in Jerusalem - the thinest place on earth.
A "thin place", in Celtic tradition,
is someplace, anyplace, where the
spiritual world and the mortal world come so close to one another that you almost see, definitely feel, and maybe even can touch the presence of God. I suspect that my life in Israel will contain moments of clarity just like this. The opaque will become translucent, the hazy clear, and God's presence a reality.

Hi Suzanne,
I followed you to this blog from my incoming links. I was surprised to see my blogs in your blogroll, and I'm very touched and honored.
I have a sabbatical coming next year and have considered Jerusalem, so I really look forward to checking in to see how you're doing.
Blessings, PeaceBang
I'm so excited for you! Have a wonderful trip and we'll see you soon!
Bon Voyage Suzanne- (wrong language, but.....)
Sorry we didn't get a chance to connect before you left. I have a couple of people from the YMCA in Sch'famer who would like to meet you. Once you get settled ( no pun intended) I'll get the info to you. Thinking about coming to visit in February, although working it out may be tricky. Will keep you informed. Enjoy your new digs. Life is full, Thank God!
Take Care

Bon Voyage Suzanne (wrong language...:-)
Sorry we didn't have a chance to connect before you left. I'm sure you were a little busy..
When I was in Israel in August, Samir and Soha, from the Sch'famer YMCA expressed an interest in seeing you in Israel. I have the information- let me know when you're settled (no pun intended) and I'll forward you their contact info.
Enjoy your most excellent adventure. LIfe is full, Thank God(dess).
May visit in February, if I can work it out.
Take Care
