Truth in this, and a ray of hope. A distant hope, because so many make their living (and a very good living, at that) keeping us in the dark.
There was once a wise old rabbi who asked his students, “How can you know the exact moment when night ends and day begins?”
“I think I know,” said one of his pupils. “Is it when, from a great distance, you can tell a dog from a sheep?”
“No,” said the rabbi.
“I know,” said another. “It must be when, from a distance, you can tell a date palm from a fig tree.”
“No,” said the rabbi.
His students looked at each other and then at the rabbi. “We don’t know,” they said. “Please tell us.”
And the rabbi replied, “It is when you look into the face of any person from any nation…
…man…
…or woman…
…Jew or gentile…
…and see your brother…
…or your sister.”
”And that is the blessed moment,” said the rabbi, “when the dawn is come.”

Pretty cool Tim. And, true.
Hi Tim,
I’m just stealing a few moments to catch up on my blogging, and I wanted to thank you for the re-blog.
Best wishes,
