Healing the Cosmos
The universe began with an explosion and we are putting back together the fragments.
The very core of reality is G-d’s shattered dream, waiting for us to pick up the pieces.
|
|
To create is to reveal the parts from the whole. To heal is to reveal the wholeness in the shattered parts.
|
|
Only one thing can put you further ahead than success, and that is failure.
|
|
Struggling to put the shattered pieces of our lives back together, we discover G-d hidden inside.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most constructive change comes from that part of us most capable of destruction.
|
|
Gifted souls shine their light from Above. Challenged souls meet the enemy on its own ground. Any real change in this world is the work of those who face challenge.
|
|
G-d breathed Himself into a creature who cries and laughs and dances and bleeds; who fails more often than he succeeds; who chases after fleeting moments and is torn by figments of his own mind.
He desired to live in the world of such a being, and from within that place He will come to know His self that cannot be known.
|
|
Failure is wasted if you return only to the place from where you fell.
If your plans fail, think bigger, aim higher.
|
|
If sin is the bite of the snake, then despair is its venom. The bite hurts. The venom kills.

|
|
The words of the intellectuals are crystals of ice. The words of the sages are coals of fire.
|
|
Nothing can hold you back—not your childhood, not the history of a lifetime.
If the past was a ring of futility, let it become a wheel of yearning that drives you forward. If it was a brick wall, let it become a dam to unleash your power
|
|
Not a moment of life can exist without a spark of truth throbbing somewhere within.
|
|
There are two types of events in life: Good and very good. Sweet and bitter-sweet.
Sweet, because from each event in life we grow.
Bittersweet, because it is so painful to tear ourselves away from who we once were.
|
|
If the darkness inside you never comes out to fight, how will it ever be conquered?
|
|
|
|
Trust in G-d and your blessings will discard their scary disguises.
|
|
Think good thoughts. Do good things. Everything else about you will change. It's that simple.
