Hello everyone. I just came across a piece of writing I wrote a few years ago, and it seemed appropriate to the feelings and sentiments many of us are experiencing these days. I hope you enjoy it and it brings you the comfort it brought me. :D

Do you ever feel Hashem in your life? Those gentle guiding hands that lead you through danger and travails but also through happiness and joy. I’ve felt it. I feel it. It’s like a gentle whisper against my mind, a soft breeze on a spring day. And suddenly, He’s there, shielding you against a storm, holding you as you cry on His shoulder, laying you gently down to sleep, and helping you rise every morning. He loves us more then we will ever know, and we, blind and dumb to his presence, dream of his existence and fall on his invisible strength in times of need. I’ve fallen on him before, and I fall on him now. My heart beats and leaps with emotion, but he catches me when I fall and stands me up when my own legs will not carry me. My life twists before me in a path unbeaten and traveled by few. Why am I destined to be so different? What does He have in store for me? I will never know until it comes, and sometimes the loneliness and embarrassment threaten to overcome me. And yet, I continue; I fight without hope against despair, and I persevere. But only because He gently pushes me when I stop. Only because I know that without Him, I would be nothing.

Words evade me. They run, out of my grasp. I pursue them, but they heed not. (too much shakespear and report writing.) needless to say, i pray you understand the words i can not find, and therefore have not spoken. this passage, which you have pleasantly added upon your blog, refreshed my soul and rechagred my mind with hope, life, and smiles.
For this, and more, i thank you
Oh Sarah, so elegant. Thank you for the kind words. Maybe I'll put up more inspirational stuff from now on. Would you like that?

[Picture the response]
"Yes, well um, about the chain story..."
*looks at feet sheepishly*
"Well, the deadline is fast approaching, and I haven't had a brainwave yet..."
*Looks up into your murderous eyes and has a change of heart.*
"But of course I'll get to it right away. Maybe that will be a good diversion from school work. See ya!"
*Hurries away to do hw.*
:D
i could always come up with another one.... let me know if you want to me. i just want you do contribute cause i don't want to completely take over the story, and you know how to integrate the time travel thing...
