5 Minute Bus-ride
i'm glad i squeezed up the bus today.
walk the stairs, dont take the lift, life a healthy happy life. be nice to people, it'll make your day happier! board the bus slowly, don't worry, i'll wait for you. careful there ladies, i'm going to close the door.
a 5 min bus trip, but one that brighten the whole day.
everytime we are at a stop, bus uncle will say nice things to everyone. "may you will 4D tomorrow! become a rich man! and you wont be here to take the bus." from his voice you could hear the smile. "anyone getting down? careful, i'm opening the door!"
maybe i've boarded the bus with a spell of courtesy. even though the bus was overly loaded, it didnt feel stuffy and unpleasant. little funny things that the uncle said made passengers smile at each other, start a friendly conversation about the bus uncle, move in automatically to fill the bus with more people.
tvmobile could have cured boredom on the bus, but could not have brightened my day like the uncle.
thank you uncle.
thank you lord.
for all the wonderful things in the world.

Star-crossed lovers
Star-crossed lovers quit West Bank
By Matthew Price BBC News, Jerusalem
The couple married three years ago after meeting in JerusalemShe is a 26-year-old Jewish Israeli. Her name is Jasmine Avissar. He is a 27-year-old Palestinian Muslim, Osama Zaatar.
Jasmine and Osama's is a love story, and it tells you so much about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
They met when they worked at the same place in Jerusalem, and three years ago they got married. First they tried to live in Israel, but the Israeli authorities would not allow Osama to join his wife there. Then they tried living in the occupied West Bank, but some Palestinians made life difficult for them.
Now they've given up and are moving to Europe.
"We ran out of choices of finding any solution to live in either Israel or Palestine," says Jasmine as she packs her bags.
"We were naive and thought we could win this fight but we can't. So we have to go abroad and start a new life."
We were naive and thought we could win this fight but we can't
The moment I decided not to be part of the mainstream I was told that I was not a part of my country anymore Jasmine already has permission to go. Osama hopes to follow her soon.
We go up onto the roof of their village home. The sunlight is so harsh you have to squint to look at the view. Stone walls hold earth terraces onto the hillsides, olive trees hundreds of years old are dotted across the landscape.
"I feel like a stranger here," says Osama. "Even in my homeland. This place is a holy land, but they're killing each other. It's like it's already a lost cause."
"Here there's no chance. I just want to start again."
They are an almost unique couple.
Neither Israeli nor Palestinian society has accepted their marriage.
On Jasmine's Israeli passport, it still says her marital status is "under investigation".
"Our marriage was a human thing. We just fell in love," says Jasmine. "The society around us is making it political."
"I feel like a refugee. The moment I decided not to be part of the mainstream I was told that I was not a part of my country anymore."
A taxi turns up, and Osama helps Jasmine with her bags.
The drive takes them through occupied Palestinian lands. They pass a tall grey Israeli army watchtower. They drive through army checkpoints.
Israel has been in control here for almost 40 years.
"Even here in Osama's homeland I am superior as an Israeli," says Jasmine, as she looks out the window.
"It's easier for me to move around. The soldiers let me through checkpoints. They don't arrest me like they might arrest Osama."
A final embrace at the Israeli checkpoint Osama is banned from crossingJasmine has given up on her own country.
"Jewish people were abused for thousands of years, but my nation has switched from being victims to being abusers.
"That's hard for me to acknowledge. The Jewish people are occupiers now, and we are racist."
The car arrives at a final checkpoint.
We stand next to it, and Osama tells me why he has also given up on his own people.
"There were threats. People said if I brought my wife here we'd be in danger. Even my friends said that. They say I am a traitor."
"It makes me wonder whether I want to be a Palestinian any more. Some see me as some sort of Israeli envoy. It's a shit feeling."
They put down their bags, and hug one another. There's a short kiss.
I ask Osama what he hopes for from his new life.
"I want to be able to walk in the street and not be stopped by the Israeli army or police. I want to feel safe. I have never felt that."
Jasmine smiles. "I just want to be a normal couple, with normal problems about rent, and money. I don't want to have these huge gigantic problems interfering in our marriage."
Even now though they are not quite free.
Osama cannot go through the checkpoint with Jasmine. They don't know when he will be able to join her in Europe.
They are still a couple caught in the middle of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. ¶ 2:31 AM 0 Comments
