emotional geniza
I always wondered what happens to our emotions after they pass. Surely the emotions are as real as any material presence in this world. But yet the products of our physical efforts remain but the emotions become invisible with time. Jews bury their books like the dead, the products of creative imagination are preserved, photographic images are put in geniza to be forgotten but where do you put the emotions? Surely the feelings resonate in the crevices of our souls; perhaps they transcend the material world as the common folklore indeed sings that the love is eternal. I sometimes dream about traveling in a library of emotions. Say there is an amazon.com for books, surely there must be one where they store all the feelings?
