1. Shelagh McKenna: Thoughts of the past
Subject: RE: Ezekiel 23
Dear Yair,
Before I learned how many northern Europeans are Israelites, when I
classified them as Japhethites (which most are also), I already believed
that my kind were heading for the same destination as the Jews, that the
two groups were closely related and that they would meet at the end of a
long journey.
Even then I maintained that there was a purpose, or at least a function,
to our long and winding path, as there is to your straight one. The two
groups have taken different roads. Ours has brought us power that would
have been denied us had we known who we were. How worthless that would
have been without you keeping the faith all these years. Yet even
without knowing what we were, we still were what we were. And we were
able to do good just because of that.
Don't be bitter --the winding path has been harder you think. The
persecution has still been there, though it has been denied by both the
tormentors and their victims. Ephraimites were burned alive and cast as
villains, and they didn't know why.
But I always had a sense that there was something I knew about my
origins that the Jews did not know, something I wanted to tell them. And
yet I felt that they knew it too. And neither side spoke because we
didn't know exactly what it was we knew --not clearly enough to utter
the words.
Shalom,
Shelagh McKenna

IF

by Rudyard Kipling
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
IF you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:

IF you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

IF you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
IF you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim,
IF you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;

IF you bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

IF you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:

IF you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

IF you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
IF neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
IF all men count with you, but none too much:

IF you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
