R.I.P. Caroline John


Things That Matter



"Matter is never destroyed,
only transformed.
So, too, can the soul evolve
higher and higher:
from instinct to inspiration,
haughtiness to holiness,
selfishness to service;
from individualism to union,
to join with the Soul of souls,
the Infinite One.
As the soul is magnified and sanctified,
so is the Infinite One exalted.

Baruch atah, Adonai, asher b'yado nefesh kol chai v'ruach kol b'sar ish."

---Mishkan T'Filah, A Reform Siddur
