It's so interesting when you find ...Great post! It's so interesting when you find parallels between natural stuff like snow and spiritual things like teshuva. Here's one more comparison I came up with:<br /><br />When someone tells you they did teshuva for something they were doing wrong, that she is making changes in her life etc. you think "Wow, she is so special!" And she is! But you should realize that doing teshuva is a process that doesn't happen overnight. During this process, you still occasionally slip and make mistakes. But the end process: a shining, pure neshama. <br /><br />The parallel to snow? Snow is such a pretty and clean picture - it's pure white. But is it really? On its way down from the sky, the snowflakes accumulated dust and other junk in the atmosphere. If you let snow melt in a clear cup, you'll see it's not pure water (that's why it's not recommended to make slurpees from snow!). <br /><br /><b>To pull it together:</b> Just like snow appears pure but it did go through a process where dirt attached itself, that's kind of similar to the way we do teshuva. It's ok to mess up while you're learning - that's growth. But you'll end up becoming purer, just like the snow we look at outside :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07883935987415838616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669597641513421106.post-66924360319375818732010-12-30T13:46:14.357-05:002010-12-30T13:46:14.357-05:00Wow! this is so so AMAZING OUT OF THIS WORLD! than...Wow! this is so so AMAZING OUT OF THIS WORLD! thanx so so so much for sharing! this is such a good lesson! i already sent this oout to some of my friends!
