beautiful page, but one fundamental thing is missing.
was it Moses who opened the red sea? was it the people who opened the red sea?
no, it was the power of G-d alone.
without that , "splitting our own seas each day" becomes a crushing appeal to man's ubris

I have been confused and unsure of feelings that I have been having lately. After I read this article I saw things in a different light. Feelings for someone having passion for someone wanting to be with someone is not a bad thing.

it seems from the responses to the words written above coincides with the difficulty of finding a mate. a little ironic if though about in any depth. a firm belief or commitment tends to make it more difficult to open oneself to be whole with any other including a member of the opposite sex to walk the earth hand in hand for eternity.

Great article. My marriage of 17 years is struggling to survive yet I still found this article inspirational. Even though my husband does not choose a relationship with me - I am thankful that G_d does. Thank you for the encouraging spiritual food to"split my sea" discovering the depth of my soul and oneness with G_d. Thank you for the blessing to get my feet wet.
Shalom

Almost two years later... the article presents a beautiful idea and romantic notion. It doesn't play out all that often. Selflessness, deep abiding respect, and sense of humor are in short supply once the knot is tied. Not always, but all too often.
