hi all -
this year, time is flying for me
with many many "things" to take care of
yehuda bar mitzvah
my graduating
AG and college
and other "things"
so i didn't get to oragnize a night of learning
but i have a little "thought/mumbling" to share
tonight marks the 15th year
i light a candle
find a picture
and there we'll be
the 15th year
last night, i asked hubby about a thought to share around
wondering out loud to Lowell ...
i ask him about "other"
is there a jewish "other" concept
other voice
other side
but even as i ask out loud
i can't get it tonight
duh, for every 2 jews, there's 3 "others"
i drop the "other" idea for now
we do have a concept though
an "other" that creeps up on us
do we all know it or what?
of 'yetzer ha'rah'
commonly understood as 'evil inclination'
ick.
not walking around the woods with that
nope.
but related to 'yetzer'
is 'yetzirah'
and that's 'creation'
and i like that -
"thanks Lowell!"
what kind of creation would we like -
something from nothing?
or
something from something?
it's interesting to me
i think ... 'from nothing' may be reserved for the gods among us?
and ... 'from something' for the artists/mathematicians among us?
i don't know,
maybe a thought pops in for you?
all i know is i wanted to share "something"
as i write
a loud thought ---
"just stop it already - stop making something from nothing!!"
like i've never heard that one
but is that right?
am i god-like?
of course i am
dude!
i am "the holy man,"
like ... totally!!
alas, i start to ramble
so ... i ramble.
but it's still fun for me
and particularly about my mom,
she'd love this "sharing"
i like thinking that
but in spirit she remains,
and what a spirit she is.
love!
annick
