This life
This body
This time
This moment
These limbs
this diabetes
this blood sugar
this unforgiving meter
This town
this neighborhood
these foreigners
this shtetl
these neighbors
this ethnicity
This spring
these trees
this pollen
these allergies
these blossoms
this perfumed garden
This wife
this rage
these triggers
this relationship
this forgiveness
This religion
this hypocrisy
this ehrlichkeit
these Baalei T’shuva
these religious claims
their enthusiasm
These grandchildren
these angels
these busy little people
these questions
this joy
This driving
this traffic
this impatience
this BBC radio
these self gloating reporters
these damn interruptions
this open highway
this occasional sense of freedom
This work
these patients
this suffering
this poverty
these spousal abuses
this CT scan
this cancer
this dying.
These parents
this generation
this ending
this transition
this sense of the impending
this inability to deal
this powerlessness unfolding
This music
this heaven
this pounding heart
these tears
this sunday
this Bach
This wine
this palate
this aroma
this slow release
this bouquet
this wonder
This lake
this immensity
this silent presence
this depth
This dark night-sky
these myriad stars
this moon
these memories
this stella luna
this sense of the infinite
This Presence
this melting of the heart
this crying
this solitude
This life
this betrayal
these lies
these deceits
this failure.
