The loneliest moment...
Disclaimer: No one was hurt making this post..
I don’t know who you are
I saw you..for a minute..from my car
I’ll never see you again
neither will anyone else
How can I ever heal..
watching the end of your reel
Sad
Intimate
Lonely
How many love you?
How many miss you?
How many have you loved and known?
There you are ..so alone
As it all ebbs away..
The unexpected final day..
Your young beautiful face
Last seen...illuminated
By a riot of harsh
Flashing red and blue
On the side of a lonely night road
Surrounded by strange faces
Rushing..yelling..
You try to panic..but you have no strength
Is this how it ends?
What about all your plans?
Just like that..
Its all over..
We plan
We live
We don’t think about the end..
We make friends
We marry
We have families..
Then the loneliest
Moment
The moment
That crushes you
With its sheer
presence
Panic
PANIC
Will it last a moment?
Or 5 months?
Horrific crash?
Illness?
Old age..in my sleep?
Surrounded by..
Young grieving children?
Middle aged relieved adults?
Illuminated by
a soft bedside lamp?
A harsh operating light?
Flashing lights on the side of a lonely night road?
This powerful force
We call life
Won’t let us see it coming
Even now after writing this
Its just not sinking in
Its no use..I’ll feel it when it’s here...
Pass the ice cream please...

we'd be paralyzed with fear if it did sink in but its a scary realization tho when it flashes through your mind.. but im wondering.. what flavor ice cream?
I was flying back from e"y after yom tov and there was a huge shudder in the plane. Everyone sort of grabbed one another and I was there with my ipod as the seatbelt sign went on quickly and the pilot asked the stewardesses to take their seats. Panic struck and there were a few cries out loud and I sat there totally at ease. My heart didn't even flutter as I thought, hmm this could be it.
I guess that's why we should always be prepared. One can never know. It's a scary thought, but the way of life.
I get that panic sometimes. It just hits me...and all I can think is no-no-no-no-no. Denial that it'll ever happen I guess...But G-d created us this way. The will to live is stronger than almost any other drive we have. So, drive safely, eat healthy, and daven a lot.
(Of course, eating healthy doesn't mean you can't eat ice cream. It's good for the panic...)
i'm gonna have to think about this one for a bit...
pass the tissues please
pass the siddur
pass a hug
pass anything, but the ice cream...
