Today, playing with my two years old grandson
as every day,
He found a hairbrush
Climbed behind me
Gently passing it through my hair
* * *

* * *
Suddenly stopped
Wrapped his little arms around my neck
and whispered: “ana bahibik“
I love you
Treasures of Heaven fell into my lap
* * *

* * *
In his arms he held my soul
With that hug, I need nothing more
In my heart I had it all
* * *

The wise have said:
“if you love a thing so much, it will reveal its secrets to you”
* * *

* * *
Crazy world?
Overwhelmed?
Feeling down?
Hold a flower
* * *

* * *
Breath it in
Let its scent
Kiss your heart
Feel its power
* * *

* * *
Sing and sway
Rinse your soul
Nectar dew
Heavenly shower
* * *

O bewildered eyes dazzled by a rainbow
For that I am grateful
O baby’s hands on a wrinkled face
For that I am grateful
O curious ears entranced by psalms
For that I am grateful
O healing smile kissing a pained soul
For that I am grateful
O pounding heart boisterous in love
For that I am grateful
O gift of life, marvelous astounding
For that I am grateful

If I was to use all the words
Of all languages
Ever used by poets
Since time began
I’d never be able to describe
That moment

If I was to collect all the masterpieces
Of all the works of art
Ever designed
By man’s imagination
I could never repaint
That moment

If I was to live
All my past, present
And future
In pain, fear, and sorrow
Absorbing the suffering
Of all humanity
Since life began
It’s a price worth paying
To experience
That moment

Thank you for giving me
A taste of paradise on earth
If only for a moment

Thank you for opening a window
In my confined heart
In the here and now
Into eternity and infinity
If only for moment

Thank you
For blessing me with
That moment

2003

Soul, O soul don’t be sad
This turmoil is but a fleeting storm
Life is born of cosmic explosions
Stardust, supernovas and black holes
They make plans and the Most Sublime plans
Out of chaos, order supreme
They destroy nothing but their very own souls
Cheer up and dry those precious tears
Run to the One Most Gracious Most Kind
Open your arms and feel the Grace
With that embrace nothing can harm

Waking up every morning to the same nightmarish reality
Throbbing thunder
Ugliness abound
Horror, excruciating pain
.
.
Waking up every morning, to the same astounding reality
Bountiful goodness august
Lovers whisper of kindness
We cherish Life, we adore
Awesome wonder
Beauty sublime
Bliss, unimaginable delight

In the bubble-universe of the “chosen”, every event, every accident, every incident, every fight, every flight, every motion, every emotion, every action, every reaction has one and only explanation: “antisemitism”
In the bubble-universe, throughout history, there exist only two types of people on this planet:
“antisemites” and “potential antisemites”
In the bubble-universe, the entire dictionary is comprised of one word: “antisemitism”, the rest is commentary

May we look, so we may see
May we listen, so we may hear
May we touch, so we may feel
May we think, so we may learn
May we see, hear, feel and learn,
So we may love, adore, share and care ♥
