Yearning for and Anticipating the Redemption

I never imagined that such a reductive view of my life’s stuff could so aptly tell the story of us, but in many ways it does . . .

How can I fathom G‑d's pain, when He is the cause of our remaining in this bitter exile? Should I feel sorry for someone who in the process of hurting or punishing others gets hurt himself?

Knowledge can be snobbish, leaving me feeling inadequate in the shadow of abstractions that remain separate from me. Experience, on the other hand, gives confidence and grace to my next step...

I thought redemption was really here — now. A single tear escapes, and a little bit of my heart breaks. I can't help it. It was such a good dream...

I am constricted, I am uncomfortable, I am in pain. I am in exile from my body, my emotions and my true state of being. I am anxious and annoyed and annoying. I am actually experiencing galut for the first time

It’s like a voice inside me said, “This is your time! Go for it!”

Mi Keamcha Yisroel, “Who is like your People, the Nation of Israel!”

We need not fear painful dislocations as we approach redemption.

With time, I have come to the realization that life can be a comedy of errors...

Why can’t people become better, more wholesome, more peaceful and G‑d-conscious as we progress towards Moshiach? The answer follows the lines of the unusual law of the pure leper.
