Jetlagged from a quick Israel trip. Thanks Jill Berkson Zimmerman for this poem: The Sleepless Ones What if all the people who could not sleep at two or three or four in the morning left their houses and went to the parks what if hundreds, thousands, millions went in their solitude like a stream and each told their story what if there were old women fearful if they slept they would die and young women unable to conceive and husbands having affairs and children fearful of failing and fathers worried about paying bills and men having business troubles and women unlucky in love and those that were in physical pain and those who were guilty what if they all left their houses like a stream and the moon illuminated their way and they came, each one to tell their stories would these be the more troubled of humanity or would these be the more passionate of this world or those who need to create to live or would these be the lonely ones and I ask you if they all came to the parks at night and told their stories would the sun on rising be more radiant and again I ask you would they embrace ~ Lawrence Tirnauer
