Ok my holy freinds ,Give me permission to say a few words
It's half a story, half a prayer....

Everybody knows the first tragedy in the world:

Cain and his brother, Abel.

Now the truth is, Cain never wanted to kill Abel;
He just got angry at him. But he didn't know
There was such a thing as killing somebody.
It's the truth. He didn't even know there was such a thing as dying.

"And this is what the holy rabbis tell us"
Abel fell to the ground
And Cain regretted already that he hit him.
He fell to the ground next to his brother,
And he began to cry from one corner of the world to the other.

And he said, my dear brother, my most precious brother,
I'm begging you, please open your eyes.
Please forgive me, I'm begging you a million times --
Please come back, and open your eyes.

Then for three days, Cain was lying next to Abel, begging him.
Our holy rabbis teach us.
All of nature, the whole world, was crying with him.

On that great day we are waiting for
The most unbelievable thing will happen
All the Cains of the world will lie next to the Abels they killed
And they will begin to cry....

And they will say, my precious brother, forgive me
Forgive me..I am begging you, forgive me
For being angry at you.
I am begging you, come back.

I am begging you, come back.

So on that great day, the miracle will happen:
Abel will open his eyes.
And he and Cain -- what a moment...
The world has not been privileged to feel the love
Between brother and brother
Between one human being and the other
That will be on that day.

Then Cain and Abel will begin to dance
And the whole world will join them.
And all the creatures of the world will begin to dance.
Let it be soon...let it be soon...let it be soon...

Shlomo was an angel. He saw the good in everyone no matter how cruel they behaved. I wish Rabbi Shlomo was still around. The world needs you now more than ever.

This story of Cain's absolute misery of killing his brother is also in the Lost Book of Enki translated by Zecharia Sitchin. May we wake at the side of our brother's and sisters with such love and humility in these days before us.
