A parting thought

As I sit here gazing at my pristine kitchen, the sublime smell of heavenly cuisine wafts slowly towards me, like a vestal virgin stretching forth her arm enticingly, a small dove, a doveling even, rises like a phoenix from the ashes of my blackened, dirty, sinful heart, carries on its tiny fledgeling wings this heartfelt prayer on the arduos journey to the Throne of Glory:

Lord, I have travelled a torturous road to get here today. I don't always succeed, I often stumble and fall. But like the wino who won't quit, I too try and follow your words, I drink them thirstily, though sometimes I sleep in the gutter and fail my destiny.

G-d, You created us human. You granted within our hearts the ability to do incredible good, and to wreak eternal havoc. You have the power to put difficult obstacles in our way, stumbling blocks before the blind, or to help us, assist us carry out Your word.

I am asking You today, and I call upon the entire blogworld as my witnesses, like Heaven and Earth. If You want to see me fulfill my potential, to live out my life the way it was meant to be, then send me a helpmate, a partner on this spritiual quest for the holy grail of fulfillment of Your Word. Tovim Hashnayim Mehaechad. Lo Tov Heyot Adam Levado. Tav Lemetav. You know who she is, You declared it thirty days before I was born. Send her my way. Someone strong, with character and passion for Your Torah and for Your world, someone who will understand me and where I come from, someone who will join me on my travels towards being the person You intended me to be.

For those of you who have found that person, hold them, squeeze them, cherish them, love them.

The rest of us can just pray.

Chag Sameach.
