My bodymind is a nomad my King. Ever home in the oasis of your love. Ever wandering in the deserts of your worlds. May I follow you…  who forever leads me. Your love is my guide. You guide me my love.   Rebbe Isaac Brubel Chuesh of blessed memory

In my wife’s arms and goodness,  she is my home. in my mother’s art my father’s prose. My brother’s selves, In my children’s eyes and lives, in my grandchildren’s play. In my friends uniquenesses.
