Living the Amazing Race: an 'enlightening bolt' of compassion

Living the Amazing Race

We are all in it. Surprisingly we all chose to be in this game. It has its detours, fast forwards, yields, rewards, elimination and definitely surprises. The prize not earned by successful results but effort is a lot more than a million $ ...but it's not about the reward... If we want to, we can sometimes see tiny glimpses of it - Hashem's sweet loving messages. It doesn't take much to destroy it and challenge us once again. But that's the game and we want to play it.

an 'enlightening bolt' of compassion

where it not for that bolt...that left a slight mark.. I might not have had these compassion thoughts- hopefully- actions.. and actually 10 minutes prior to this en-lightning bolt episode--at our Netivot Shalom class- Keser Shem Tov, I added -- "in fact everything around us --also nature, even a דומם has a special message for us.. and is a reminder of Hashem's constant communication with us in everything that happens/surrounds us.

May we see the beauty goodness and get the messages in a sweet way... please no more bolts.. screw ups.. The compassion roses are breathtaking. I agree that stark contrasts makes it so much more remarkable but that's a natural law You Hashem created... You have infinite..... awesome beautiful ways to teach me the Truth through absolute Truth... that would totally blow me away in a good way. Please show me.
