Getting old, seeing G-d

An old man and his 6 year old grandson are sitting on a bench.

Both lost in thought....

The child turns to his grandfather and asks: "Zeide, did you ever see G-d?".

"Yes", he answers," all the time".

Both - pensive....

"Did you see him when you were six?", asks the grandson.

"No, answers the old man, " but now that I am getting older, I can barely see anything but Him".

Cantonists Song: Ekh Lyuli Lyuli

As best as I can make it out, this is a song about a soldier's Seder Hayom. Must arise early to say Modeh Ani, wash negel vasser, go the the Beis Hamidrash, put on Tallis and Tefilin, and doubt everything, never, never accept that which is limited and small as the Infinite. The time is Now.

RIver flows in Jerusalem

An underground river was discovered under Jerusalem. Now we can understand the prophecy of Ezekiel (CH. 40).

In the book AlephShin, there is a scene in which an huge underground explosion set of by the Messiah both splits the Mount of Olives (as described in Zechariah) and brings water to the surface, which produces this river that Ezeliel predicted.

So, tell me. how did Ezelkiel know about an underground river under Jerusalem?
