Separation and Union: Holiness in the Time of the Corona Virus

Separation and Union: Holiness in the Time of the Corona Virus 

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh
holy and separate
emulating angels, saving lives

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh
set apart and sanctified
emphasizing a great yet distant power

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh
sanctified and distinct
separating the mundane and the sacred

Kiddushin a holy union between two
separating us into a single unit 
away from the rest of the world

Kiddushin a holy bond with each other
to the exclusion of every other person 
on the planet

Kiddushin without physical proximity
we can fill the universe with our love
connecting across the miles

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh
like distinguished
different or separate but also special

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh
like the light and darkness
each with a beautiful purpose

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh
like one who doesn't go with the crowd
holding strong with opposite inclinations

Shalom, Shalom, Shalom
peace, hello, goodbye
separation and unity

Kadosh means "holy" and "separate" in Hebrew. Kiddushin is part of the marriage ceremony joining the couple together to the exclusion of all others.

Guerilla marketing is one of the best ways to make your business better. If you are not trying this, then there is no way that you can get better. I perfectly believe that people are going to have to go and make things better for themselves with their own hands. If you keep on relying on others, then you will never be truly happy. I am really happy that people are trying to get better, that is what I think.
