Like a Bird's Nest...!

I haven't been keeping up with Israeli news lately. I hear a little tidbit every now and then, or hear someone musing out loud. But mostly it's quiet, and I just wonder, somewhere in the back of my mind, what's going to happen. The word that comes to mind is "trepidation." Now I hear from Daniel Gordis that's what the entire country is doing -- holding its collective breath. But gosh darn it, every time I read a new piece of his I realize again just how well he writes.
