Before the Hamas-led attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, years of painstaking
negotiations brought Saudi Arabia to the cusp of a landmark deal for
diplomatic recognition of Israel. That would have solidified an
Israeli-Arab coalition against Iran, locked in U.S. support for Saudi

Arab and Muslim worlds.

A favorite Zen Buddhist story of mine - such a favorite, I confess,
that I mentioned it once before - tells of a novice monk who, on his
first day at the monastery, stands before the head monk to receive his
work assignment. Before you reach enlightenment, the master, or
jikijitsu, says, you will chop wood and carry water. Dutifully, the
young monk, or unsui, does as he is told: Day after day, month after
month, year after year, he chops wood and carries water. It is
backbreaking work, and many times he dreams that, after he attains
enlightenment, his life's calling will be to become a teacher himself.
Or perhaps he will be a pure contemplative, spending his time in
prayer and meditation. Either way, his work will involve sitting
indoors, without chafed hands and aching muscles.
