Juxtaposition

Today is somehow both the last day of Sukkot and the first night of Chanuka
It is both October 7th and December 7th
Terror doesn't have a calendar

Nights are spent tossing and turning
Worried for our soldiers, scared for the hostages, fearful of the future
Terror doesn't have a bedtime

Between October 7th and now, there have been 61 days but no restful nights
61 days that feel like one long day, no dawn yet on the horizon
Terror doesn't have a clock

How else does one spend a never-ending day
With hope and strength, love and support
Uniting like never before
Terror doesn't have a chance

Miriam Roskind is just your average person who sometimes experiences so much sadness that it overflows into words. And when that's not happening, she has a day job in high-tech and 2 soldiers (one miluim and one sadir) to worry about and feed (when given the opportunity).
