I want to share that there is a morning prayer Elohai Neshama, that says our souls are pure… no stains, not ever. We might feel that way, external stuff has a way of seeping into our minds, but the soul is always connected to the Holy Blessed one. I was supposed to teach this in meditation today, but it will wait until next week… the gorgeous white snow coated everything, pure and fresh, so no driving:-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349928247626849914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077596651922595536.post-18455535831425874792014-02-05T12:40:45.051-05:002014-02-05T12:40:45.051-05:00This is a very deep and beautiful poem, describing...This is a very deep and beautiful poem, describing how life shapes us, both good and bad, and how we form new connections as a result of these changes.
