Green and Orange Flower

"זן נדיר" (We Are a Rare Breed) By Corinne Allal

We fear our own shadow

We cling to the walls of the houses
And most of the time are ashamed of our bodies
Digging bomb shelters

We are fleeing from a crazy party
Pushing our way into rowboats
Every dry land is a sinking ship
When digging bomb shelters

We are a rare breed
A strange bird
Dreams in the air
Head in the ground

We deceive mostly ourselves
Not blind but we do not look
And it’s unclear what we will leave behind
Except for the fears

We are a rare breed
A strange bird
Dreams in the air
Head in the ground

Against All Odds, We Must Survive

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Against All Odds, We Must Survive."

While it is blatantly obvious, so many people—perhaps many well-meaning—just don't seem to understand the terrorist's strategy and use of propaganda, lies, and disinformation to play the victim and get sympathy.

Even after decades of the Arabs rejecting peace and partition, opting instead for radical Islam and the relentless pursuit of intifada and jihad (culminating in such barbaric attacks as 9/11 and 10/7), the terrorist wolves effectively make themselves into the innocent sheep being ruthlessly slaughtered. And who doesn't want to protect the poor little sheep?

Opponents to the Western-dominant world order—Russia, China, Iran, and Qatar— surreptitiously direct, facilitate, and sponsor the global chaos and are laughing their heads off at our naiveté and what they see as our ultimate self-destruction.

Make Your Life a Sanctuary for G-d

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Make Your Life a Sanctuary for G-d."

In short, everything we do in life should be great, but not for our greatness. Everything that we do should be done with passion and determination, but not for our sakes. We are only here by the loving grace of G-d and for as long as He wills it. In our time here, we need to act in a way that means something beyond our finite, selfish mortal selves and instead be selfless for the purpose of our Creator.

If you lived your life for G-d, for good, and for a greater purpose, then your inner spiritual legacy will live on beyond your years and even your name. If you build a sanctuary for G-d, it will have holiness and permanence not only in this world but, more importantly, in the next.

One fish, two fish.

Red fish, blue fish.

Swarms of the sea. 

They swim and they churn.

How many can there be?  ;-)

Beach living!
