Grateful

Adam and Yoni


A midnight swim in velvet waves, warmer than the air.
Yosef''s clear joy, being with two grandsons.
Yoni's delight in a newfound collection of Staszow nigns, the old melodies that were sung at the table, or to lull babies to sleep. Or to pray. And what do we pray for. Just this. Just this.
