I am for the first time in America. My circumstances are such that I have little time to learn deeply of this land and its people. But still as that is, there are things of America of which I am most fond and grateful.
The people. In the world Americans are portrayed as cold and with concerns centered only on themselves. This I have found to be largely untrue. I have been greeted with warmth and a care most considerate by all I have dealt with. The few times my Beloved Helena and I have ventured to explore have been naught but a delight. Of all we have met, not one has been other than a friend in openness and concern. The vendor of hot dogs, when learning of the reason for our visiting America even was concerned. He vowed to light candles for my Beloved's recovery, this from a man whom I had but only purchased frankfurters. The people of this city, renowned for its lack of true soul have put the lie to this unfavourable view of Americans. Even the vulgarity has become in some way dear to me, though my Beloveds and I blush at it, much to the amusement of the ones speaking.
Also I am enamoured of the magnificence of the medical facilities and the competence and concern of the staff. I am aware that the quality of my Beloved's care is much a result of my ability to pay for such, but the skills are there for all. In thanks I have arranged a modest endowment to provide assistance for those unable to afford their care for cancers. This is but the least I am able to do in gratitude for the kindnesses that my Beloved has been shown by those of lesser means who also suffer from this scourge. They have without fail been a support and an encouragement to my beloved Miryam in this most frightening of times, for this I thank them a million times.
Also I love the varieties. In but a single day, I have dined on cuisine from 6 different cultures, and yet never did I venture beyond a few blocks. Upon the street I can hear languages from a dozen lands, it is a wondrous thing to behold a Hasidim conducting business with an Shi'a in peace and mutual respect.
And lastly, but in no way of the least, I love New York. Always will I cherish this memory of kindness, and always will I tell of the wondrous people of this greatest of cities. A decision I have made to purchase the suite I have leased, such that my Beloveds and I can freely return to this greatest of cities at our whim. We three are eager to further explore all that is to be found here.
I thank my Goddess for allowing me to see this land and its people, there is such depth of beauty in both that I had not known to be there. I ask Her blessings on this land and it's people, long may they prosper and find success in all they attempt. May America and it's beautiful people, not least those of you here upon Collarme who have been so kind to a stranger and foreigner, live in peace and joy, may all the dreams of each come to fruition. This I pray for each and all.
Be at peace
