Consider the journey

One generation to another.

The torch is passed.

Born in Spain. Move to Cairo. Then to Dallas.

Another born in Texas. Move from Wichita Falls to Dallas.

What is the likelihood of crossing paths.

That is the power of Besheret, Soul Mates.

Thirty days before we descend to earth a heavenly angel calls out in heaven the name of our soul mate.

Then we are born.

At the moment of birth the angel taps us above our lip, and we forget everything.

We are born, grow up and either do or do not find our soul mate.

If yes, what if it doesn't work?

If not, how do we bear the years of loneliness?

If born in different countries, how do we understand each others language if they are different? 

And if we are blessed to find another partner, is that really what G-d intends for us?

This picture is my dear friend, former mother-in-law when she was a small child. She is on the far left. Her brother is in the middle. A friend is on the right.

The photo is taken in 1932.

Consider the journey.
