Rosality
Reflections on Life from a Different Perspective

From an e-mail newsletter by a favorite YATED contributor, Rosally Saltsman

What's in a Name? A few people have commented on the name Rosality. Well to give credit where it's due, it was my late ex-husband's invention. He said most people live in reality - - I live in Rosality. I took it as a compliment. The truth is we all live in our individually created realities based on our perceptions and prejudices, our new insights and old knowledge. The world exists literally as we (emphasis on we) see it.

According to the Talmud, Hashem recreates the world every day. Inasmuch as we emulate Him, we too recreate our worlds every day and that's our current address. And if we look back at our lives, we see that our reality has undergone a few overhauls, and that things we imagined to be one way turned out to be totally different. We look at everything in our lives based on the reality of the moment and react accordingly. But we need to also keep our minds on the big picture. We each bring to the world the gift of our own insights, perceptions and understanding. We are meant to embrace them as ours and share them with each other. We are meant to accept and learn from the perceptions of others and see the myriad possibilities of viewing the world from different eyes, reflecting different souls.

We exist in millions of parallel universes, all co-existing ideally in the harmony of each of us marching to our own drummer, but in sync with each other under the baton of Divine orchestration. So wherever you reside in your own special universe, I send you greetings from Rosality. I come in peace!
