A place of cowboys and Indians. Fiery furnaces. BBQ-ing. Candy and gum. Open your mouth and sucking. Chewing. Don't use your teeth. People without teeth. Smiles of empty spaces yards and yards of floss cannot cure. Not to bite. Not to scratch.
Pens as writing utensils behind ears. Not to need a dagger-point. Looking scary. Covered with shields. A knight at night. A silent knight at night. Robin Hood and Friar Tuck. The Sheriff of Knotting Ham. Peaceful. A pen writing love stories. A pen a story of a man and a woman (and her sister?) To put up a white applique in the shape of a heart upon your bedroom window. A heart that reads: "Sisters With Love Forever".
A cowboy or cowgirl. The Wild Wild West. No direction East except with the dawning of the sun. Riding horses into purple sunsets. One path to follow. The path of our Parents. The path of their Parents. Our Grandparents. A pen not a dagger. No kicks with your boots. No pirates. Love from a pen or pencil.
Wild West Indians. Asleep in tents. Red skins. Skins of animals. The foxes. Scalped. Bows and arrows. A bow being the ribbon on a gift! The arrow spearing straight into a Valentine's Day Heart.
Not a bleeding heart. A heart about intellectualism. Having only one heart. The left side of this heart being the home of wickedness. "Sitra Achra". The right hand side being the home of goodness. Holiness. The location of "The Divine Soul".
A Beinoni or a Tzaddik. A good heart. A heart to defend your family. A heart that doesn't bleed. A ban on guns. No pistol in your pocket. No rifles slung across your shoulder.
The Day today being Good Friday and tonight being the First Seder of Passover. Two coming together as One.
How to bring two families both of whom are from the East and the other from the West together?
Learn to love! To both fear God AND to love God. Transfer these loving feelings you get from God onto the manner in which you love your Family and Friends. A time for Feasting. A time for Fun. One party after the other and then another!!...
Absolutely no leavened bread [if you are Jewish]! Bread for us being a source of wickedness. Yeast being a living creature polluting our bodies.
To make merry! No death of the East or the West. To watch the Wicked Witch of the West drowning as she fizzles out. To be in love with Glinda the kind Witch of the East who will tap you with her wand and with three taps of the heels of your sparkling red slippers you wish yourself to your home.
How to get Home? The Story of a Haggadah. Travelling Home anytime even when our only real home is a place in our imagination. A Home as a place of Love Stories. The Haggadah and Song of Songs our Love Stories. The same this year as it was last year in your home now or then.
To escape by running into the mountains, your Home, to a Place of Incense and Spices. Sweet cinnamon and coffee spices!!
Thank Gd it's Friday!
