Fortuitous Serendipty

So we've all had those weird moments in life where, either you'll be thinking of someone at the exact moment they call, or you will learn of a new thing and then all of a sudden you see or hear it all the time. Or perhaps a phone call from a friend you haven't seen for ten years calls you up out of the blue from thousands of miles away to ask your advice on something and ends up answering a bunch of questions that you had. Who knew that someone you hadn't seen in a decade would be just what you need......

Anyhow, here's a great little story from her website......

A Rabbi spoke with God about heaven and hell. "I will show you hell," God said, and they went into a room which had a large pot of stew in the middle. The smell was delicious, but around the pot sat people who were famished and desperate. All were holding spoons with very long handles which reached to the pot, but, because the handles were longer than their arms, it was impossible to get the stew back into their mouths. "Now I will show you heaven," God said, and they went into an identical room. there was a similar pot of stew, the smell was delicious, and the people had identical spoons, but they were well-nourished and happy. On seeing the Rabbi's confusion God said "It's simple. You see, they have learned to feed one another."
