Never blurry



You were always so precise and direct. So focused.

So crystal clear.

You were present. So in the moment. So in the future.

So crystal clear.

You were a light. So positive, so bright.

So crystal clear.

You were action. So quick and on unafraid.

So crystal clear.

You were truth. So unrelenting and unbending.

So crystal clear.

You were alive. So energetic and passionate.

So crystal clear.

And today, we see a new video of you. "Rare video clips" - broken and blurry images never seen before. We are left with black and white movements that are undefinable, unfindable, unwindable.

And for some reason, we are drawn in. For some reason, we're inspired. For some reason, we still see you.

For your images and videos may be faded.

But you.

You are our Rebbe.

You will always be.

So crystal clear.

Wow!
that was beautiful!!
As chassidim, we do not get affected by the blurriness, we see right past it and our Rebbe is still as crystal clear as ever to us.
Everyone can be a Chassid if they want.

Not properly perfected, but here it is.

Cognitive Emotive Dissonance


my heart feels you're with me, guiding my steps.
my mind is at times uncertain.

my mind is convinced of the truth and correctness of you ways.
my heart sometimes wishes it wasn't.

my heart believes you listen.
my mind needs to be able to see your definite response.

my heart loves you.
my mind feels like it never really knew you.

my mind is enamored with the enormity of your personality, accomplishments and life.
my heart often lacks the passion it wishes it possessed for the things you lived for.

my heart wishes my mind would always see things as you do. it doesn't.
my mind attempts to reconcile the conflict of interests in my heart. it can't.



my mind and heart both miss you. very much.

no, you probably won't guess the initials. you don't know me. in fact, i'm not sure why i posted it here. it was one of those 'spur of the moment' things.

sabra, your blog is only open to invited readers of which i am not.
