G-d appeared to Avraham,
and in the midst of this great revelation, three weary ‘travelers’ arrive.
Avraham tells G-d to wait while he attended to his guests (because ‘it is
better to tend to visitors than to receive the countenance of G-d’).
The Kotzker poetically
fills in the details: “While G-d is
waiting, He patiently mentions to Avraham: ‘Gedenk
as ich bin oich doh - Remember I’m still here.’”[1]
The spiritual encounter is
not always a dramatic thunder and lightning show.
Sometimes it is simply the
ability to carry on as normal while simultaneously remembering how to keep G-d
in one’s ‘peripheral’ vision.
