At this festival of Passover, an extract from Marge Piercy’s”Maggid”
“We honor only those Jews who changed
tonight, those who chose the desert over bondage,
who walked into the strange and became strangers
and gave birth to children who could look down
on them standing on their shoulders for having
been slaves. We honor those who let go of every-
thing but freedom, who ran, who revolted, who fought,
who became other by saving themselves.”

What a dark and beautiful wilderness, Laura.
many thanks Marina I never aim for realism but even with the representational figures the parting of the seas came into this exodus!
…and it did so beautifully!
