“I do not ask you to be like your brother, or like Abraham or Isaac. I only ask you to be like you, Aharon,”
― In the Hands of an Angry G-d
― In the Hands of an Angry G-d
“אחר כך ירדה שיירת חירם מן ההר.
מורן רכבה ראשונה. בעינים נוצצות ישבה על האוכף, בין השקיים, צמאת מראות, רואה את המרחבים נפתחים לפניה, כמו נכנסת אל עולם שאין לו סוף, מן ההר המשתפל והולך, עד שנעשו הגבעות שוקטות, קטנות, מעט מרעה נמוך פזור עליהן, ורוח חמה מאד אפפה אותם מדרום.
הביטה והביטה. אולי כל ימיה צמאה למקום הזה. בכל רגע רחב ליבה יותר. הערבה קבלה אותה בלי קושי, כאילו היא שייכת לה מאז ומעולם. נפעמת קמה בבקרים, קלה, חשה את תמצית החיים בתוך גופה עם כל נשימה, עם כל משב רוח חמימה, מביטה בשמים שנעשו רחבים מאד, כמו צפה בין שמים לשמים, מעולם לא היה לה טוב כבמקום הזה. כל הדברים נעשו פשוטים. הרוח היתה נבונה, מדְרך כף הרגל היה נכון. גם השתיקה. חשה שאין דבר בעולם שלא תוכל לעשותו, אין דבר שיעמוד בפניה.”
― Thirst: The Desert Trilogy
