Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 dear moderators: if this post is not appropriate for the list, i understand, i just wanted to share the blessings of this season with all. sat nam. ** dear friends, sat nam. it is the season for jews to celebrate the passover, which commemorates (historically) our deliverance from slavery in egypt, under the mighty hand of God. more modern interpretations stretch the analogy to see this season as a time to rejoice in being released from whatever narrow places (the hebrew word 'mitzrayim' is translated usually as 'egypt,' but literally it means 'narrow places') we may have been bound in. it occurred to me this morning that kirtan kriya has served as my moses, and allowed God to deliver me from some narrow places where i was trapped - most specifically and dramatically, in some relationships i really should not have been in. i have posted before that this has been a painful journey, but whatever tradition we may belong to, we all know that there is hard work before there is reward. it has been hard to keep faith at times, but God has led me, and you wonderful members of this community have kept me up. the moment is here for us to shake off the chains and walk with grace and purpose toward the freedom we deserve. as yogi b says, to be happy, healthy and holy is our birthright! i hope this season brings to you all release from pain, from old habits that constrict you, from bad relationships that limit you, from negative thoughts that create a reality around you that frankly puzzles you, into the promised land, into the light, into freedom! baruch Hashem (bless God), may you all receive 1000 times the blessings you have given to others, happy passover! sue in seattle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
