judih's observations from kibbutz: It's started!    
 It's started!
picture30 Jun 2005 @ 17:28, by Judih Haggai

Coming home to the kibbutz from Be'er Sheva today, June 30th, my friend and I were stopped by the Army and asked to show ID that we were, indeed, residents of the kibbutzim this side of the Gaza Strip.

It's begun. Roadblocks and Special ID cards. It's started. In the kibbutz fields, soldiers were spotted with jeeps. They were patrolling on foot. On the roads were young people, religious young people, wearing orange arm bands to indicate they're anti-disengagement. As they were trying to hitch, my friend muttered: "You must be kidding"...

It's going to be at least 45 days of restricted movement. Certain roads are blocked to general traffic and to get home, we'll have to prove we truly live there.

A long summer. I'll comment here, no doubt.

A last look at the green wheat fields as they appeared a few months ago. Today, after the harvest, we're down to summertime flat.

Look at the green
think towards the future
this particular chaos will subside
and nature will recycle

Our dining room
In and out
stomachs and laughter
