Naomi, thanks for an interesting read. This was the highlight of my work day, even though I don't have any real background in surrealism or linguistic messianism or anything. I took a Jewish mysticism class a while ago; this paper presents an interesting manifestation of those ideas of illumination and tikkun olam. Something to think about.

Oh, and have a wonderful time in Prague!
