AND GOD SAID "LET THERE BE LIGHT"

“'And G-d said, Let there be light, and there was light.' This was the first of the utterances by which G-d created the world, and light was the first of all creations." [Torah]

Light, light-heartedness, lightly, light-loving, lightened, lighter, lightness, lighting a candle, lighting two candles, Shabbat candles, lighting yarzeit candles.

A window next to your bed that emits so much light your eyes squint, the sunlight at a lake beach with a danger of burning in the sun, too much light, suntan oils to color your body brown, tanning and basking in this light, a suntan as a status symbol.

She asked: "Where did you go on your summer vacation?" I said "I went to Florida! See my beautiful brown tanned skin?"

Feeling light as if it is really "love" and not just light, the light being so bright it lights up as a light bulb of creative ideas above your head, always with an idea, all ideas being original ideas.

Loving light. Having light feel so warm as it caresses your bare skin even with the glass of a window in between you and the sun. This natural sunlight feeling so good, reminding you of the warmth of your Mother's lap as she fed you her warm breast milk when you were just a babe, breast-fed and lulled to sleep in the warmth on your Mother's lap, robed like a royal Prince/Princess in soft blankets, coddled, her chest of steady rhythmic up and down motions like a rocking sailboat, a rocking cradle, swaying back and forth. Listening to her breathing as music, soft, like the sweet singing of a violin cradled in her arms, her smooth skin as a puffy pillow for your head.

Having been fed this milk as a baby in a home that was warm in the winter. And rocked to sleep in a cradle filled with toys and stuffed animals. Now, to never go thirsty always to have this memory of the nourishment of this milk and the warmth of this sunlight, so you can work by day.

Then approaching a night, a bright sun going down, a sunset, a sundown. A darkened sky that changes from the color blue to purple to pinkish colored clouds with mirror-like reflections of the moon, a new moon, a "Rosh Chodesh" the once-a-month Jewish minor Holiday, dancing with other women, a circle of women dancing in a string, floating gleefully on top of water in a lake but not getting wet.

Becoming spiritually "enlightened" in this light G-D created as you study Torah, keep the Commandments, and follow Jewish Halakhah, simply by "loving your neighbor."

Turning light into love as the light of your future becomes so bright, ya' gotta wear shades!

BEAUTIFUL PERFECT PEOPLE SEEN AT A BEACH PARK

Being today in transport to "The Place of Beautiful People." Where is this place? This place is just two blocks east of my home at a public beach called Loyola Park Beach. A place to gaze upon humans and to witness some that are the cream of the crop.

Beautiful bronzed colored skins on bodies and hair bleached blonde with lemon juice flowing in golden locks upon strong shoulders. Cinderella's fantasy everywhere you look. Beauties like winners in Beauty Pageants, all come to relax and to swim at this beach. Seeing Homecoming Beauties of youthful ages, women with bodies so perfect you have never witnessed this amazement before. Clothed, but scantily in small one or two pieced bathing suites. Muscles on their bodies to show their hard work at gymnastics clubs where they are members.

To see someone and to be amazed at their good looks! Wondering if what you are seeing is a Goddess or an Angel!

Sleek trim bodies everywhere you look, like white colored cheetahs striding with long feminine legs like cats who are hunting for their prey. Women who look catty, possessing large green eyes under dark green sunglasses, piercingly looking back at you as you cannot remove your gaze, being mesmerized into a trance-like state, seeing someone who looks unreal, like the most beautiful person ever living in the whole wide world!

Men in short shorts leaping before you like a Russian dancers jumping high into the sky! Like antelope with chests uncovered, bareness, nakedness, protruding abs and well developed chest muscles, stomachs so firm they can take all your punches. Men carrying large heavy loads of beach equipment upon their backs and shoulders, men like slaves sweating beads of sweat dripping like diamonds, working hard, heavily, under hot suns as they carry a burden from one side of the beach to the other, knapsacks like travelers bags filled, packed, with suntan lotions, lunches, and bottled water.

A beach just for you, next door to your home, a beach like a zoo, but filled instead of animals, with perfect supermen and superwomen, humans who like the Greek and Roman gods are generous gifts to the eyes, being gorgeous in their physiques with perfectly formed bodies to be tempting, almost edible!

All for your daily pleasure to be seen at a neighborhood Lake Michigan Beach Park down your block.

THE STRENGTH IN THE PEACE OF FLOWING WATERS

 

Peace will bring you strength.

Floating downstream on a kayak, just you and the slow sure predictable movement of the still waters or moving waters, being an owner of a yacht to be in command of the seas, using the sumptuous seas as your padded mattress, sleeping on the warm sands of a clean beach, having peaceful patience as you wait for the tide of the water to come in, as it always does.

Having peace through your interpretation of the meaning and purpose of colors. Being an artist who knows colors and how to use them to bring you strength, strength from the peace of a prism as you watch rainbows bounce as reflected sunlight coloring your world with all the colors of the rainbow, being followed through life with this innate appreciation of colors as an artist and always being in peace with all colors.

Using the deepness of the color blue to bring you strength, as the color blue flies in the flag of Israel, and Israel teaches us peace. The blue waters to bring you peace, the blue skies to bring you peace, the blue throne of G-D to bring you peace.

In meditation using repetitive Hebrew language phrases so to always be in song. The sweetness and beauty of this song and meditation to bring you peace, always to be in peace.

Peace as your healer, as your motivator, as your catalyst, as your reason to rise out of bed each morning. To teach others peace. To be healed using peace as your doctor, having the healthiness of a peaceful existence.

Silence as your peace, hearing only crickets in the night, walking softly on hard wood floors, the quietness of a library in your everyday existence, quietness as your music, the sound of a leaf falling off a tree, the sound of it hitting the ground. Not a crunch, the sounds instead of silence.

Peace to know where your next meal is coming from. Having a kitchen, a chef, a shopper, a dishwasher. Nets instead of to be catching butterflies, catching manna G-D rains on us from the sky. Opening your mouth and having it filled.

Never to have a worry, never to have a care, to be in peace at all times with all people.

Fasting without manna falling from your sky, being purposely hungry on a Jewish Fast Day, purposely closing  your mouth and not biting with your teeth, not cooling your throat with the peaceful waters, not drinking and not eating.

Having then a care, a concern, for those who do without, for the poor who are hungry and everyday is their "Fast Day," feeling this hunger in your gut so you feel the plights of others, feel compassion for those who do without, like Ghandi who fasted for peace, you have peace as there is  no food, your liver and kidneys detox with the Fast.

Sitting on the wet sands with flowing water all around you but without a drop to drink.

Having peace as you derive the experience and wisdom of those who are without peace, those who spend everyday in a Fast, having a care, but not a worry, spending your life in the care of those who do without.
