Rocks they share with us geologic time, the time of all ages, the time from the beginning to the time of now to the eternal so for them to hold all that has transpired since Creation comes as no surprise. So perhaps it is not “even” walls weep but simply “when” walls weep we see the fullness of our individual grief, our groups grief and the grief of all others as connected and as such being able to find forgiveness and peace with one another.
This is powerful. The idea about the bablonian literature over their losses is interesting, even if it isn't clearly accurate, but the idea that the nation who destroyed our holy places and exiled us, have experience of destruction and exile themselves is worth noting. That having suffered exile isn't enough to make you not cause another exile.
May our hearts soften and lead us to restoration and sustainable peace.
