* I don't recall why or when I wrote this, but I found it tonight while I was searching for a piece of writing to comfort my soul. I was feeling the reality of all the losses I have experienced in my life and feeling an intense but calm sadness. I know that everyone experiences pain, difficulties, and loss in their life at some point (some more than others) so I am posting this in the hope that it helps you retain your sense of hope and provides even a glimmer of light during a dark time. With much love and blessings I wish you all a life of both internal and external peace.
-->
There will be times when the world will seem overwhelming and there will be times when the world seems frightening and there will be times when you will feel like you are alone amidst a sea of fragmented lives.
But know that those times will be followed with a spark of light, a glimmer of hope, opportunities will arise and love and kindness will find its way to you.
Even when you are in the depths of darkness, desperately groping to find a hand, there will be one soon. You just have to keep feeling, keep your eyes alert and your heart open to the possibility.
You must retain your hope.
Because, I promise, the joy will come, the peace will come, the love will come, and the kindness will come.
Please wait for it. Do not give way to the heaviness in your heart and soul. Life has a way of reviving the tongues of those whose lives seem to be filled with sorrow.
Please don’t let your body give way to the desperate temptation of the sleep in the hours of the sun-filled hallway of potential.
Arise and greet the petals of hope and blessings that flutter in the wind of our day.
Goodness awaits you at every corner. Open the door and greet it with peace.

Nice Raiz.
I like the poetic tone. "...Amidst a sea of fragmented lives." Great word choice.

You are a very special woman!
oysh! my raizele! your writing speaks volumes... thanks for sharing your poignant gems that are brimming with love, hope, and a passion for life and goodness
Dearest Raizel,
Thank you for sending your writings and your poetry.
It is worrisome to me that you take on the sadness, the unfairness and the brutality of the world on your shoulders and into your heart.
The one message to focus on in these times is that you (and all of us) have the power within us to bring peace and healing into our lives by helping one person. Just being kind and just to someone around you starts the process of love and kindness going forward. It will not help for you to grieve. It will help to do a good deed.
Larry's deceased wife Beverly was not Jewish, but it was her concerted effort every day of her life to make whatever situation she was in.....easier and more loving. She created "peace" wherever she was.
Love and Shalom to you.
Raizel -
What a beautiful thought! I like it a lot for its message of hope and peace.
NICE
