Arab Friends
(Plant Your Dream!)
Arab Friends: Just called Hani, born in Bethlehem. He speaks better Hebrew than I do, as well as Arabic. He recognized by voice without me saying my name. I am going in for some Near East Food right now. Have you Arab Friends?

"Got Milk?"
" Got Arab Friends?"
I am hungry for some Mideast Foods.
I have not spoken to Hani, my dear friend
who Blesses his foods in the Arabic tradition.
This is called Hallal, and it is the equivalent of Kosher,
the rituals the Jewish people
do.
I have not spoken to Hani for maybe three months,
there are years in between my visits to his store
according to what diet my body wants at any
particular time.
I just called him.
"Hani?" I say
"He says, "Leslie!!!!"
"Are you open till Seven?" I ask.
"Yes." he says.
I feel so good.
I was feeling a bit lonely for social companionship
this late Saturday afternoon.
Now the sun is shining through my window on my face.
Hani was born in Bethlehem
and he speaks better Hebrew,
Arabic, and Spanish than I do.
I wonder how many Hani's
there are in Irag right now, who would
welcome our hand of friendship
if we extended friendship in return.
I am glad I have a Hani in my life.
