I am deeply touched and have tears reading YOUR connection to The Creator, the Holy Land, G*d's creations and to me. I love you.<br /><br />May we be blessed with an fruitful abundance of health and joy as our G*d given sap flows through out bodies, just as does the birthing sap of the aging trees flow during this time of Tu B'Shvat and all seasons. <br /><br />Hearing from you at this time is especially appreciated as I was filled with tears the last week during Marcel's, z'l, 2nd yarhzeit, and serious hospitalizations of loved ones. But as you can read, I find and reveal the light of Holiness in my life and share this inspiration. <br /><br />It feels so good to receive your validation of my fruits. These writings are because YOU have encouraged me in darkness, and in returning to the land of my soul, and I am grateful.<br /><br /> Joy Krauthammer, Northridge, CA, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591574438112567469.post-86252567612959392982011-01-23T11:29:23.667-08:002011-01-23T11:29:23.667-08:00Dear Joy, You release from the fruit the Holy spar...Dear Joy, You release from the fruit the Holy sparks of life.
