If you knew a single one of all the things that I've done

I am no longer in Providence. I am rather exhausted (read: there must be a brain in here somewhere), but I am very glad I went. See greygirlbeast for details.

Best thing I didn't expect to be told tonight by a stranger: "I love the brains of poets." She had been talking about Poe and Violet Jacob, but I had to restrain myself from asking whether she preferred them braised or sautéed.

I'm also still searching for the poem you wrote on that Hebrew prayer about people being God's light. Any chance it has been published somewhere?

Yes! Sybil's Garage #7. Can be purchased from many fine online venues. Enjoy!

Oh, thank you! I will be purchasing :) Your poem helped me focus a short story, which now turned into a screenplay, and I want to quote the prayer in the screenplay, though it was your interpretation that woke me to see the beauty.

Wow. Thank you.

May I read the screenplay sometime?

Of course! Thank you for asking.

I'll soon read your poem again and then go back and see what more I can instill in the screenplay--the feeling I want to portray--and then be in touch with you. Thank you.

You're very welcome. In any case, the proverb:

נר ה' נשמת אדם

Ner Adonai nishmat adam: the human spirit is the candle of God.

Ah, thank you. I'd forgotten it was "candle." I've a blank space where the character speaks this prayer. I'll go fill it now and then see what other magic I can raise when your poem arrives.
