I was at my friend Mark’s house the other day. When I arrived, he was on speaker phone, with a friend of his who lives in Gaza. I sat down across from him at the dining room table. His daughter was washing dishes in the kitchen, which was next to the dining room. When she was done, she turned off the water. Oh, said the friend, could you leave the water running? I haven’t heard that sound in months.

Wow! In a few words, the authoer has said everything about wartime conditions where water, a basic necessity for life, is scarce.
In fact, the sound of water is the sound of music.
Thank you, Larry Hendel.

Thank you Roberta

Writing can be so powerful….and your piece is a terrific example of that…..i cannot get the image of washing dishes at a sink out of my mind, and i approached my morning breakfast dishes differently….please…i want to read more of you….
