Neighbourly

Samarian oil

Samarian wine

On open Judean wounds

Bound by a Samaritan's hands

Never felt so good,

A salve to the national shame

Burning through the traveler's head.

Luke 10.  A timely reminder of what it is to be a neighbour. It's not necessarily those you expect who show compassion.
