237. Mountain Stream

That’s a poem that a traveler like me really appreciates, and here’s another entry from the slam book:

“A little sun, a little rain,

A soft impulse, a sudden dream;

And life as dry as desert dust

Is fresher than a mountain stream.

So simple is the heart of man,

So ready for new hope and joy

Ten thousand years since it began

Have left it younger than a boy.

A little hope and little trust

And life as dry as desert dust

Is fresher than a mountain stream.”

(For me, Uncle Mustache was about the only person that made the “Holy City” different from any other hot touristic property. By the way, maybe the cause of a lot of the fighting about who owns the Jerusalem turf is because the owner gets the tee-shirt sales!)(Cherchez le dollar!)
