A quote and a wish

I figure with Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) almost here, it's time to get a little spiritual. So with that in mind, here's one of the most spiritual, poetic quotes I've ever read, from Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (aka the Lubavitcher Rebbe), a person who touched countless people during his lifetime, from the devoutly religious to the completely unaffiliated, Jewish and not:

High upon her precipice, the soul is nameless, for she has no form - she will be whatever she must be.

Peering below, beneath the clouds, she perceives a faint shimmering of her light in the deep, wet earth. There she finds form, and she calls it a name, and she is called when that name is called, for she says, "This is me."

But it is not her. It is only a faint glimmering of her light within the frame of a distant world.


A very happy, healthy and sweet New Year filled with every good, beautiful thing to you all.
