There's Nothing So Close As That Which Seems Far
Tech Tribe Dispatch #77
💡 Think:
On Yom Kippur we return. We return to our source, only to realize that it was there with us all along.
When we err, we show how far we are from our source, and when we turn inwards, we realize how close it was all along.
For there is nothing so distant as two people standing back to back, with the entire circumference of the world between them, and nothing so near as when they turn around and realize, face to face, they were always together.
