I find a magical level of peacefulness.I plod through the bustle, noise, and city urgency of Yafo Street and turn left on Ha'Rav Kook. One more left turn takes me down a long, stone pathway, past an intriguing sign for "Museum of Psalms," and finally to Ticho House. Immediately outside the entrance, I find the Ticho House terrace restaurant filled with trees, flowers, relaxed diners, and a magical level of peacefulness. I enter the house and go directly upstairs to view Anna Ticho's ethereal sketches of the Jerusalem landscape. Her drawings capture the forests and desert hills surrounding the city, especially at sunset, especially when I imagine the place as it looked eighty years ago when Anna Ticho and her humanitarian husband Dr. Avraham Ticho moved into this lovely house.
