How can we say we love someone when we have never met Him? How can we say a Higher Power exists, when we have prayed to Him to help us, or for a sick person to achieve health, but He does not help us or cure the illness of our sick. Did a parent die, and we prayed to Gd for him to live, but he died anyway? Did then we become so bitter and disbelieving that we lost our friendship with Gd, He left us but when we left Him.
Who is this Gd? Is He a hallucination? Is He a voice Who we hear as the wind blows through our chimneys banging the shutter open and closed again, open and closed?
Is Gd the well-known oil painting of a Michelangelo, King David being his famous sculpture? Can we envision Gd through the eyes of famous artists?
Can we listen for His voice and ask Him to talk to us the way He talked to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam? Gd has never shown His face to anyone, no one has ever seen His face. A Burning Bush? Moses saw that, it burned like a Christmas Tree decorated in electric lights, being a Chanukah Bush. Can we mutually merge these Faiths, to combine the ways of the rebellious with the ways of the truest bluest? Royal blue. Sapphire blue. Sky blue. Throne's blue. Clouds' blue.
Can we ask Gd to mutually merge the colors red and blue to create Purple? What is Purple? A majestic color, no doubt! A light Purple or Lavender color being a pure white added to a blue and red. An aroma of Lavender herbs, a whiff like no other.
How can we try to understand, to comprehend this greatness of Gd, of our Lrd? If we are adults not children being introduced to Gd for the first time is this an obstacle to our understanding of His love for us? To be over the Bar/Bat Mitzvah age to be an adult and to study Noah's Ark? To understand the coat of Joseph as multi-colored i.e. like a clown's? To pray for Joseph even if we cannot understand his obstacles, having never been enslaved or imprisoned? To have an understanding of his hardships falsely accused in court and imprisoned being innocent? To find our thief taking the law into our own hands? A reason, yes, to be imprisoned. To catch your own thief to prosecute him, he becoming the one who imprisons you instead of you imprisoning him!!
To go to a beach, a seashore of a Great Lake or Great Ocean, a long winding River, a Mountain Range, a place that is extremely awesome, lots of excitement!! To try to understand these creations of Gd's power and almightiness, a place of prosperity greater than we can possibly understand, a place of Gd-liness, incredible, super, horrific, a miracle!! All from this Gd we are told to love.
Can we as adults learn how to love this Gd and to accept His love for us?
For us to continue to love humans, to love angels, to love the creations of the Lrd's and to be in touch with Gd in holy singing of prayer everyday. How about seven times per day?
To purse your lips into a kiss and to kiss His Essence, kissing Mezuzahs, to be there for Gd when He needs you and then He for you.
