Todd, I’m so glad you discovered me, so I could discover you. And that you have a deep library of pieces I can read over time. I especially resonated with this:
“Plato believed our soul was conscious before birth, and we forget who we are when we are born. During life, we must work to recover who we have always been. The true knowledge of our deepest self is within us, waiting to be discovered again.”
I’ve read two of your pieces now and you writing is beautiful and your messages are deep contributions.
Reading this post is the first time I connected the mnemonic you refer to ("Remember me; every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, remember me") with the spiritual intent behind Kosher food requirements. I see those restrictions, which must be followed whenever food is grown, harvested/slaughtered, prepared, and eaten, as mnemonics directly reminding Jews that their lives—sustained as they are by food—are about God, and that everything is about God.

What a beautiful and blessed testimony! The two questions are so poignant. Thank you for inviting into deeper reflection of sharing bread and cup.
