The Music of the Middle East

Here are a few of the things we have heard:
Multiple languages from the Middle East, Europe,
America, South America, Asia; goats and camels,
city traffic, harps, wooden flutes, Muslim prayers
streaming in the air over loud speakers, prayers and
hymns of saints from around the world lifted up,
Jewish prayers at the Western Wall, lapping and rushing
waters of the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River, the Med.,
the Dead Sea and the Red Sea; Israeli and Jordanian
coins changing hands, and mosaic pieces being cut.
