Re-piecing

At first all existed as a single whole in a single thought. Then it fell below, shattering into tiny fragments and fragments of fragments. Now Man picks up the pieces and says, "This seems to belong to this, and this relates to that," until he reaches back to the whole as it was in primal thought.

It is not the cause and why of things that we find. Things are the way they are because that is how their Maker decided they should be. That is beyond the domain of intelligence. The beauty of intelligence is that it finds the harmony and elegance of the whole as it was originally conceived.

Mitzvah HaTshuvah Good Deeds of Return
Mitzvot reconstitute these sparks, returning them to their proper place.
These sparks are found in everyone, even in the worst examples of sometimes not readily recognizable as human beings.
These sparks are not lost,unles we can not see them in everyone, sometimes hidden,but even then, they are not lost, we are.
Tshuvah is good, but even better it is to cause Tshuvah in others.
Mitzvot are good, but better to cause another to do Mitzvot. Rav Akivah
Anyway, if one wonders just exactly where those sparks might be, we are living with them; and of course, they live among us. They will find you; and you will find them, repaired or unrepaired. Life is full choices!!! We are all works in progress.
Figure out 10 ways to remedy each situation, and start now as if the world depended on it, cause it does.

Intelligence is acceptance?
In reading this posting, I think of how little I know of the "mysteries" that are a part of the concept of "understanding the pieces as part of the Whole". Although I always understood the idea that those fragments were part of the "original Light" of Creation, if you will, and that each of us represents one of those Fragments, I remember feeling that my soul found its "corresponding piece" of the Divine Universe as my husband and I made our wedding vows to each other under a huppah held up by dear friends on each corner, and before a group of family and friends. This was only a year ago, and somehow I feel as though I'm only now understanding it in a way I couldn't when I was younger. This, to me is the unltimate acceptance: Beshert.
