CURRENT MISSION

To learn Arabic & Hebrew fluently & to travel the Middle East (trip planned for this summer!)

ABOUT ME

I'm a student studying Arabic- I want to be a mediator or dialogue facilitator in Israel/Palestine. I'd love to meet people who speak Arabic or Hebrew for coffee to practice my skills. In return, I can show anyone around (maybe new transplants?) just hang out, or help anyone with English if desired!

PHILOSOPHY

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

“The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
