The Geometry of Breaking or Healing
peacegroover@deviantartThose are the two options.
To be part of the destruction of that which is precious,
even the life of the enemy.
Or a conduit for the substance that binds up wounds and the broken-hearted.Even when flaws cause me to hurt those around me or engage in broken thoughts and so, for a time, join with the razing power,
if I am repentant, make the necessary changes, and return to the healing stream,
then the danger of losing my humanity is minimized.And, if at the end of my life when I am weighed in the balance, and my contribution to fixing outweighs the breaking, then I will be satisfied to rest easy in the knowledge that in some small way I was an addition to the healing sum.

"#SuzyUltman has been delighting us for years, ever since the algorithm gods placed her adorable felt “#Shalom” pennant on our feeds. Since then, the #awardwinning #author, #illustrator and #productdesigner has brought so much #Jewishjoy into our lives through her #art and the many #Jewish #children’s #books she’s #written and #illustrated.
Suzy’s newest #book might be the most exciting yet: “The Art of Jewish Joy” comes out this week and includes 50 #crafts to celebrate Jewish #holidays and #traditions. (Plus, we’re partnering with Suzy and her co-author #AmandaKingloff on a #RoshHashanah card-making class — learn more here!)
We asked Suzy to share the things that bring her Jewish joy, and not surprisingly, her answers are as delightful as her art."
