Two Ears and One Mouth
As many people's parents told them when telling them to listen twice as hard as they speak. (good instructions for a blogger)-
This is part A of a two prong solution to the middle east peace crisis according to one speaker at the Rumi Forum today- an esteemed Georgetown Professor-and generally good advice for anyone in conflict. The second part would be 'always remember [the past] except when you must forget. This follows God's forgiveness principles where he puts your sins so far behind you as the East is from the West [Bank.]
In keeping with this mandate to listen twice as hard in dialogue as sounding off everyone is invited this Saturday to the Cleveland Park library auditorium (who knew they have an auditorium) to see a play which features middle east dialogue perspectives from all poignant directions by an esteemed playwright who lives in Bethesda and goes by the irish bard name of David McSomething irish sounding because he thinks more people will come if they don't know him as Dan the lovely elderly Jewish fellow- (I actually think more people will come if they know who it really is on this topic so I am blowing his cover and hope he doesn't get too mad.)
It's flattering any writer wants to be known as irish- when the irish couldn't get jobs in Boston only a generation ago. I should start taking my writing seriously perhaps as I earned my spots (freckles) in Kilkenney. Who is going to get me that T shirt that says 'kiss me i'm irish."
2:30- Cleveland Park public library auditorium, this Saturday.
