Trying to stop obsessively checking the news. Trying to put into a corner in the back of my mind the image of a 12-year-old boy encompassed by his gradfathers supporting hug as the two of them recite kaddish together for their father and son. Trying to put into a different corner of my mind thoughts of Palestinian children warned to leave their homes before a bombing -- but they have no place to go. And to put into a third corner thoughts of tunnels leading into kibbutzim. Trying to push all this into separate little corners of my mind, because at this point in time the best thing I can do is write a grant proposal for a waste water system in the West Bank, because it is the simple, stupid, mundane matters like cooperating on sewage treatment that will help us find a way out of this mess.
