Knowing, as we do, that civil war is raging on in Syria, with its people enduring horrifying daily bloodbaths, it seems that the entire country must be in a state of catastrophic chaos.
So when I got to look across the border into Syria the other day, it was shocking to see this:
A little pocket of peace, as far as the eye could see, from Israel’s Mt. Bental in the Golan Heights.
While Syria’s war rages on in the background, what was visible up close was only peace, its farmland stretching out as far as I could see, a small body of water in the foreground, a city in the distance viewable up close through a telescopic lens, and the occasional car driving along as if nothing is amiss.
Some day, soon I hope, such peace will exist throughout all of Syria.
