Back from Israel.
“How was your trip?” “I must hear all about your trip!” Oh yes. We must get together. And have coffee. And talk about my trip.
Was it fun? Where did you stay?
I’m polite, knowing if I don’t follow up we won’t get together or have coffee. Which is OK. I couldn’t possibly explain my trip, unless you’ve been there and done that. And trying is just scary. Do you have two weeks while I talk your ear off? Doubtful. You mean well and I appreciate that.
Meantime it may come out in small, organically calibrated doses over the next year.
But yeah, I’m back. With a glow. Deeper, richer. Yeah. That’s all for now.

wow, well now I'm incredibly intrigued!
I know what you mean. How do you put it into words? It seems to minimize the experience, to reduce it somehow to a sentence or two (and some- but not all- people want only that). It is beyond words, or coffee, or chat. I can't explain it, but once you've been you are changed and you understand. I went there and did that twice, and hope to do it again- now it's your third time- or is it fourth?- and I'm guessing it gets more meaningful each time, when you see it repeated, and happen again and again, the miracles of Hashem.
I feel ya sista. Thank G-d we are blessed with the task of processing so many wonderful women, brilliant speakers, incredible and miraculous sites, etc. Often times we only stop to process heavy messages when they seem negative and we are in pain. So much better for us to sit and let marinade the unbelieveable gifts we have been given on this trip. The gratitude I have for being granted this connection to you and Israel for life, is never ending.
I hear you!! It's impossible to describe this experience. It was so much more than "a trip".
the trip- so many memories and so many heavy experiences. I am still processing. Problem is I feel like with time, folks get back into their lives, and the momentum gets lost unless we process and discuss….
