It's been a long time since I've submitted something to the mirror project. Since then, my life has changed quite a bit. Since then, I also made a trip to Palestine and Israel. I came back changed in many ways some of which I'm sure I haven't even realized yet. The trip had a profound effect on me. It completely opened my eyes to things the world sees yet the American media won't allow us to. I didn't see that before this trip. I see it now.
