Visiting the Matzo Factory - Part Two
By
Dr.
I am
delighted to have a chance to continue telling you about my experience when I
visited a real matzo factory in
***
Now years later, (after watching my friend's mom dance from her soul, so light on her feet, natural and at ease in her own living room) I was in a matzo factory in a small building watching Russian immigrants working. They too, were unassuming, at ease and they danced with their arms as they rolled the dough.
Here
were people who had lived their lives--unable to celebrate Passover.
Now they molded sacred Passover dough.
In the large barren room where they worked, standing at wooden tables, it
seemed as though they created a positive energy system that gave me a sense of
comfort and welcomed me--made me a part of things rather than being apart from
things. This was an energy that made
colors richer and external values seem to matter less.
I knew in my soul as I watched, that metaphorically I was watching
Joannie's mom dance all over again. It
is hard to put it any other way.
It's
not the only time that I have felt elated or excited, or really enjoyed myself,
but the people in that room touched one of the deepest cores that I could
account for in my being. They
touched a sense of validation of the human spirit, a space that had a form to it
as solid as a rock, yet brilliant and transparent like quality sunlight.
As
we left the matzo factory, I stepped back in to watch for a few more minutes.
One woman smiled. I didn't
want to leave. Finally, I was
dragged out, so to speak, as you remove a child when it is absolutely time to
go. At first the sidewalk felt cold
and it seemed as if the sunshine had gone away.
I felt it was all in that room, not outside, even though it was bright.
If I had been a little younger--maybe a little braver--I would have let
the tears of soul knowledge pour down my face or I would have run back into the
matzo factory and hugged some of them saying, "thank you for being here and
embracing me with your positive energies!"
But, I didn't have the courage. I
went along with my day as best as I knew how, working as hard as I could to
knead their sunlight into the bread of my life!
Some
forms of enchantment touch deeply into our souls.
Passover is a time when our souls are once more encouraged to strengthen
and stretch. Both Jews and non-Jews
respond to the cry of the Exodus--"Let my people go!"
Or we could say, "Let me go! Let
me be free to grow and develop and not be imprisoned by depleting thoughts or
feelings. Let my soul soar, while I
attempt to dance freely--my arms and legs moving in harmony with the universe as
I find ways to bring heaven down to earth--a bit here, a bit there!"
