THE CRUISE --ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
|
When you cross the street called Houston Street you enter the district called Soho which stands for "South of Houston." And as we enter Soho today, I'd like to take a moment to dedicate this Cruise and this entrance into Soho to our driver and navigator downstairs Benitez. In a certain personal despair today I want him to know that I'm with him, and I'm backing him up all the way. We've done many Circles together, and together we've suffered as we enter Soho.
We're crossing Houston Street right now. Can you feel it? Benitez, can you feel it? We're entering Soho.
I wrote John a letter about the lamed-vovniks from the ancient Kabbalah. In Hebrew, lamed-vovnik, I believe it means "36."
And essentially, it discusses how there are 36 human beings on the planet at all times -- only 36 -- who uphold and create the equilibrium for all of our sufferings. They take the melees and the maelstrom, persecutions and the disasters of the world onto their own shoulders -- past, present and future -- throughout their flesh, physical incarnated lives.
