And my imagination goes further, and suggests that once we see all of the items again, once they are restored to us, we don't need them anymore. Do they vanish? Do they transform? I don't know. I think it's just the restoration that matters.rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401506216498534131.post-85647959883565454392015-04-12T22:25:15.905+03:002015-04-12T22:25:15.905+03:00I wish there was a 'like' button on your b...I wish there was a 'like' button on your blog!

So...Thank you for this imaginative and moving post! So very well put, dear Ruti! Personally, like everyone else I too have mourned losing things dear to me. However my saintly Mother-in-law taught me to truly believe the cliche 'kaparat avonot.' That something lost is meant to cause pain/ anguish instead of ones body being harmed. Hence that soothes me although my heart continues to ache and pine a tiny bit until my brain takes control over my heart! Does that make any sense? Anyway, your writing is always a JOY to read!Netivotgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746343586043134996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401506216498534131.post-48177587447325472062015-04-12T17:38:15.856+03:002015-04-12T17:38:15.856+03:00Just beautiful Ruti!

Just think about those same precious articles and how quickly we would be willing to exchange any or all of them for blessings of peace, health, happiness. It's all so relative, right? Definitely thought provoking. Thank you!Pearl Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112415994437225366noreply@blogger.com
