The great kabbalists of the past thousands of years kept this wisdom with the foresight that one day it would serve as a catalyst for personal and global change. My hope is these words awaken your heart to improve, to elevate, to be better today than you were yesterday - so we may all come closer to a world with no more pain, no more suffering, and even as the Bible and the Zohar promise, no more death.

You Won’t Remember This Either

For anybody who is a parent, this video by Jeff Sher will awaken all kinds of memories and emotions. I can completely relate to his feelings when he writes:

“What continues to amaze me about parenting is how it simultaneously expands and condenses time. The days can seem long, but the months fly by. The kids seem to get older in spurts. One day you notice that he isn’t the same guy he was two weeks ago, he’s someone older and new, but he still wants you to unwrap his cheese stick.

It’s hard to believe they won’t remember any of this in their rush to grow up, but I know they won’t. This film is a collection of fleeting glimpses and little moments that would otherwise escape forever.”

Enjoy.

Giorgio Morandi

This past weekend my wife and I were in New York City. We went to see the Giorgio Morandi exhibition at the Metropolitan Musuem. I highly recommend it for anyone who has the chance to see his work. He was an early 20th century still life painter who had the ability to make the simple objects powerful and transcending. It was a spiritual experience.

If you have not yet discovered Morandi, this New Yorker article is a good place to start.
