Notice where the bird made her nest. Under the bluest rainbow sky. Not caring whether it was real or painted. Like Leonard Cohen's Bird on a Wire, this bird has tried, in her way, to be free. She has succeeded. This was in Jerusalem, on a beautiful, mystical daytrip yesterday. From high on Mount Scopus we could see all of Jerusalem, peaceful, golden, Christian, Jewish, Muslim. Today on CNN it's a mess. But I was there, and it was golden. And the bird feathered her nest under a perfect blue rainbow sky. As if it were real. And you know what? Her nest is real and the eggs are real, and from these eggs will emerge real doves. Sometimes it's right to paint the sky. And right to make your nest under a painted sky.
