Found a stitch

Thanks to my friend Beth, who reminded me that I still have a stitch of clothing.  Tomorrow, I call the Children’s Hospital to see about volunteering my time to help take care of newborn babies.



And thanks to my friend Traci, who helped me find the words to describe the cloth.  It can be found in this discussion:



“Once there came the great Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotsk, he who lived in the nineteenth century.

A man came who said, “Rabbi, I simply cannot believe.”

“Why not, my son?” the rabbi asked.

“Because I see in this world deceit and corruption.”

The rabbi answered, “So why do you care?”

The man continued, “I see in this world hunger, poverty and homelessness.”

And the rabbi once again said, “So why do you care?”

The man said, “What do you mean, Rabbi, why do I care? What else is there to care about but the way of the world?”

Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotsk ended the conversation and said, “Do not be disturbed. If you care so much, you are a believer.”



Oh, and I guess I have another piece of cloth I forgot about.  I have friends.
