WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN


 MEMORIAL DAY

To the honored—
the named,
the unnamed,
the ones whose boots no longer touch this earth—

We remember you.

Not as distant history,
not as folded flags alone,
not as marble names weathered by rain—

but as sons and daughters,
friends and fathers,
mothers, brothers, sisters,
laughter interrupted.

You stood where fear was real.
Where duty outweighed comfort.
Where the cost was not theoretical.

Some gave years.
Some gave youth.
Some gave plans they would never live to see.

And some gave everything.

Today, the wind catches the flag because 
hands once carried it forward.

Today, our freedoms whisper with the weight of sacrifice.

Today, we do not glorify war—
we honor courage.

We do not celebrate death—
we remember devotion.

May we live in a way worthy
of what was entrusted to us.

To the fallen—
thank you.

To the remembered—
we speak your honor.

To the silent rows, the empty chairs, 
the gold stars, the sacred ache—

we have not forgotten.

ONE LAMP

Here are some of its key spiritual representations: Freedom and Power: The Andean Condor is often seen as a symbol of freedom due to its ability to soar to great heights. Its impressive size and strength also represent power and dominance in the natural world. Connection Between Heaven and Earth: In Andean mythology, the condor is considered a messenger between the earthly and spiritual realms.

The Saint Bernard

   VISION 8/8/2025   The Saint Bernard  Rescue and Protection: Renowned for saving stranded travelers in the Swiss Alps, the Saint Bernard embodies the Torah principle of the watchman (Ezekiel 33:7) who guards life with vigilance. In Kabbalah , this reflects Gevurah (strength) in service to Chesed (loving-kindness), creating a protective force around Malchut ,  the dwelling place of the Divine Presence. Spiritually, it is the guardian appointed by Heaven, present in times of greatest need. Strength with Gentleness: The Saint Bernard’s immense power paired with its calm nature mirrors the Torah ideal of meekness joined to authority ,  like Moses, who was “very meek” yet led a nation (Numbers 12:3). In Kabbalistic terms, this is Tiferet , the harmonious balance of judgment and mercy. Faithfulness and Loyalty: From the Hebrew כֶּלֶב ( kelev ) , meaning dog, we hear the phrase kol lev  , “all heart.” This speaks of undivided devotion. In Scripture...
