[continued]

‘The villagers say there was a rabbi with the Jews and that now he told them that death came eventually to everyone, so “today is as good a day as any to die”.’*

We can never know for certain this side of Death whether our thoughts and Love and tears can travel back in Time and comfort the dying who are now dead; but the identification is so strong that the impulse to do this is not to be denied.

****[‘.... Death comes for us all, sooner or later: ....’]#

#[‘She looked up at me, very seriously, through her tears:“It's not just them.” she told me

“– the ones I lost, and all the many others.

It is not just their deaths:

Death comes for us all, sooner or later:

some are better, if it is sooner, others are worse;

and their Spirits are all at rest now,

although I miss them grievously.

I weep, not just for them,

but for the way it was done,

as we all must weep;

and therefore I, Rachel, weep

for the guards who killed my people: the Separators,

who are all gone,

and who became creatures of the Separation,

so much, that they were Spirits clothed in darkness,

so much, that unless they find us again,

and through us find Love again,

and through Love turn again to the Spirit,

they will go down wholly,

and go out altogether,

and the Spirit alone will return to God;

and they were all little children, once:

therefore I, Rachel, weep,

for the guards who killed my people,

the Separated.”’]
