“Being born in a place is only one way to belong, nor do you have to die there.... I knew at once that Magdala was home because I felt sighted there again, second sighted. It was not only the spring. In time everything spoke. When birds rose into the air, I could read the pattern of their wings, and the path the wind made on the water carried messages. The very ground said make a path here, plant herbs there. These vine are not dead. Tend them and they'll bear fruit again. Ancient trees offered shelter and wisdom as well as olives. And there were certain rocks that could absorb fatigue or agitation, leaving me refreshed and calm.”
