At The Threshold - Daily Dose of Wisdom

At the threshold of the ultimate good,
the highest sparks of G‑dliness lie on the ground at our feet,
but we are too busy to bend down and pick them up.

Where the greatest of miracles occur,
wonders beyond imagination,
we are too preoccupied to lift our eyes and notice.

The table is set for a feast, but we are all asleep
—and who will wake us from our dreams?

At The Threshold

Who will wake us from our dreams? Praise HaShem, the living Jews will! He will blow His breath unto us again and we surely will wake up! No, I will not be too busy to bend out picking but I will lift my eyes up and see my salvation because you tell me so! Amen!

when it is time, you yourself will wake yourself up. At least for now.
