  The Vision The dust of the marketplace settled thickly on Eliav's sandals, mirroring the unsettled dust in his heart. Around him, the cacophony of commerce roared – merchants hawking wares, buyers haggling, the clatter of coins a constant, grating reminder of what he felt he lacked. Eliav was a potter; his hands were skilled, and his creations were sturdy and beautiful. Yet, contentment was as elusive as a perfectly symmetrical vase on a wobbly wheel. The Pain He watched Reuben, the weaver, proudly display vibrant, expensive fabrics. He heard Matthias, the metalsmith, counting a heavy pouch of denarii. A familiar anxiety gnawed at him.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."   (Genesis 1:1-3  NKJV). Since the beginning of creation, words have been the building blocks of our realities, the instruments of our deepest desires, and the vessels of our most profound beliefs. They can heal physical and spiritual wounds, inspire, and destroy. In the tapestry of human existence, words weave a complex narrative, shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
