"Jerusalem is magnetic. A centripetal attraction draws me ever in. The helicopter follows this strange gravity. Trapped in this orbit, we circle again and again, neither of us sated with the extraordinary view."
"As we circle tighter and tighter, and I become
dizzy from the revolutions: images in my mind; images I can see; images
I greedily ensnare in my buzzing camera. Finally, visually overwhelmed,
I simply gaze, the beauty below beyond my computation. May it be
branded in my memory until my death."
"This is the Land. Ha’Aretz. And I learn, quite simply: like many, I had long loved her without knowing, and will love her wherever I go, whomever I become, whomsoever I worship. Wherever destiny may choose to pit me upon her unseen path, this will always be Israel."
