Ein Yahav
A night drive to Ein Yahav in the Arava Desert,a drive in the rain. Yes, in the rain.
There I met people who grow date palms,
there I saw tamarisk trees and risk trees,
there I saw hope barbed as barbed wire.
And I said to myself, "That's true,
hope needs to be like barbed wire to keep out despair,
hope must be a mine field."
Yehuda Amichai
