The Breath Of God

Yirat Adonai...

The Breath Of God

• I was imprisonned once.

• An African American guard came up to me and said:

• "You are mine!", pointing at me and an other inmate.

• She gave us both a task: prepare the yard for everyone to go "outside".

• Never was I happier to wash walls and sweep the floor.

• Above the iron grid ceiling, white clouds were floating across the blue sky...

• I felt the breath of God...

• Later on, all the inmates got to be in the courtyeard.

• My mate and I decided to give the rest of us a ballet lesson.

• We danced and danced, and danced...

• Some time later I met the guard in the grocery store.

• I approached her and told her:"Good to see you again!", to which she warmheartedly responded.

• But she was descrete, pretending she knew me from the neighborhood...

• "Yes, it is good to see you too. Greet Nancy for me!"

• "I will", I replied, "Thank you", not even knowing who "Nancy" was...

I felt the breath of God, again...!
