a lovely new description of me from someone else...

one person wrote and I quote him, in describing me that I have...
" an internal belief and commitment [to Judaism] that's as much existential as it is ontological."

Interesting. I wonder what everyone says about me sometimes.

I mean, I think, I prefer to continue to mosey about in my own way without encountering other people's opinions since judgment and opinions rendered about me make me uncomfortable, but I do find it fascinating every once in a while when someone writes or says something describing me to me.

By the way, I read this quote maybe six years ago, really liked it then, and only recently learned from whence it came. "I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back." -Oriah Mountain Dreamer. Click on the "1 comment" thing below to read the passage from whose context it was plucked. I'm amazed at the truth within in. I'm not looking for people who can feel what I feel exactly or to the same intensity. I'm merely looking for people who can stand out on the edges while I look at this internal fire -my spirit, my heart and hopes, my feelings, my inner turmoil- and who neither need to push me in nor pull me away. I want to find people who will walk with me on this journey we call life.
