“He massages people’s feet
as he washes away the dirt
and the stench of the street.
He walks with those who suffer
and suffers when those who suffer

This is the Rabbi
who inspires closet skeptics
to “come-out” and pray.
As sensitive (artistic) souls, those of us who have the capacity to hold in the most light, light that shines brightest from fragile jars that are living miracles of the conversion of the sweetest wine from the sludge of the darkest and deepest bayous, we were designed as living metaphors of empathy and dependency.

whirling and writhing down
an eternal abyss of insanity,
further and further away
from the drain of objective reality.
