Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called “Madness and The Soul.”
Whereas normally the soul guides and directs the body, in the case of mental illness, the soul becomes imprisoned in the body and mind that is sick. When this happens, a person reverts to their wholly animalistic nature, and hence, what we are seeing is like a car without a driver, accelerating and careening dangerously until, usually, a horrible accident and end.

Why do flowers and bicycles go so well together?
Either way a beautiful display!
G-d has made such an amazing world for us.
And all our senses get to enjoy it.
If you let yourself stop and experience it, your heart and soul can be uplifted with the joy of it all! 😉

Someone really had a premonition posting this sign before Covid!
The sign says simply:
Smell Me!!
The response to this now-a-days would be the person with Covid yelling back:
I can’t smell (or taste) anything!
Now frustrated, the other person replies:
But please, please smell me.
Second person, tries and tries again:
Sniff, sniff–darn, the sniffer just isn’t working.
Get out the smelling salts!
Six months later, I still can’t smell a skunk in the same room.
What type of crazy pandemic is this! 😉

I hear it and I see it, but I can barely believe it.
I can touch it, and I can even taste it, but that’s going too far.
I can smell it, but in a good way. 😉
