Hey.
I just got home last night, after a long day of driving. The trip took me about eight hours or so, and was uneventful, thank God.
Oh yeah, there was this one thing, though...
I killed a beaver.
I was driving on the 80 West, and I had just passed the sign that tells you that you're at the highest point on the 80, east of the Mississippi. I was going at about 85 MPH, and I see this black thing in the middle of the road. I tried to swerve, but it darted forward, straight under my jeep.
I think it wanted to die.
I went pulled over and ran back to see what it was I had hit. I had never seen a real beaver before. Technically, I didn't yesterday, either. I only saw half of it...

Therefore, the pure righteous do not complain of the dark, but increase the light; they do not complain of evil, but increase justice; they do not complain of heresy, but increase faith; they do not complain of ignorance, but increase wisdom. - Rav Kook
Love Is The Motive...
It is a singular force that drives us like no other. The sages teach that the highest level of serving God is serving Him with Love. It is the motivation throughout our waking moments, what keeps us going, what takes us on to the next day, and is one of the most powerful tools known to Man. It has the power to heal like a soothing balm, and the ability to crush and destroy if misused. We must learn how to utilize this tool, and unite all of world Jewry, and ultimately, the world. Then we will experience Tikkun Olam, and our exiles will be gathered in Peace. So go ahead, make your own credo; finish off that line of thought. Love Is The Motive...
