Across the Brooklyn Bridge

Thanks for the note. I just got back last week. The trip was very bittersweet. I discovered a family i never knew I had in Palestine...a loving, generous, kind and gentle people who in spite of circumstances are just incredibly beautiful inside and out. I had a wonderful time connecting with this part of myself and getting more information about this aspect of my culture. I have always felt I was on the outside looking in when it came to my Arab heritage having not known much about it. This trip has made me feel more complete and has given me so much to think about. I look forward to going back again very soon.
