I think of "mi kamocha baelim adonai?" or "ahava raba ahavtanu" belive it or not. Maybe the human drive to love another is like the human quest for the Divine?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046374724759244985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-65334280895341520612012-02-14T08:07:34.755-05:002012-02-14T08:07:34.755-05:00Janice -your ordeal on the Costa Concordia must ha...Janice -your ordeal on the Costa Concordia must have bought so many emotions to the surface. Thank goodness you were together and you are safe now,to enjoy to the full what you thought you might lose. Here's to celebrating the wonderful gifts in our lives,that are sharper than ever, now we understand that we could have lost them.

Having been through a slightly different life-threatening experience, I feel I can emphathise with your comments about life, love and plans for the future. When Ian and I thought we had no future, we prayed together and we held on to each other, but we were lucky that we went through all that together. You were leaving Jonny in the hands of others. Thank G-d we are all here to tell the tales and are now living in our future.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929072044094419285noreply@blogger.com
