Create Ripples of Love

- Joy Krauthammer


RIPPLES OF LOVE
from movie Ripple Reflections #2 With Joy
A Selfie by © Joy Krauthammer



This movie, Ripple Reflections #2 With Joy, was created by me a few months ago to honor my 90 year old beloved mentor friend, Edith, because she serves as my 'life guard' at her swimming pool each summer.  For several years we have closely bonded sharing a deep lingering friendship filled with loving-kindness, compassion, differences, respect, laughter, truth and joy. Edith composts and gardens, and I eat her harvest. 

I live out my inner child at Edith's home. A Christian woman, Edith reminds me each Elul about Cheshbon HaNefesh / accounting of the soul, wondering if I will ask forgiveness from her for anything that I think I wrongly did. I always ask her forgiveness and Edith always says, "There's nothing to forgive." Edith is so forgiving.

Special for me to post this now because I just now returned home from my friend Edith's party where her family celebrated their Easter holiday, and Edith's 94th birthday. I'm blessed with Chesed to be included as 'family'. Being Passover, I couldn't share the meal nor birthday cake but brought chocolate bunnies for the great-grandchildren. 2017

How do you deeply bond in lovingkindness? With plant, animal, human?

who knows the song in your heart 
and sings it back to you when 
you have forgotten the words."
