A Prayer for a Different Time : Meditation for C. E. R. N. - An Arab and a Jew..

This piece is a prose poem or meditation presenting Isaac and Ishmael, figures from the Abrahamic tradition often associated with Jews and Arabs, as comrades who reject the enmity of their history and call for a truce. It describes their shared bond to the land as a primal connection rather than a product of formal peace talks. The text envisions the land of their fathers and mothers becoming a sanctuary for all, and it frames their message as resonating through the dissonance of their shared experiences rather than neat rhymes.
