Read it out loud. Maybe twice. Then go online and listen to him read it. The sound is absolutely mind-blowing and fantastic. He opens with a quote, from the Talmud: "Everything is foreseen, yet freedom of choice is granted." He gives his words that freedom.

Mind blowing. I read it in a day but I want to keep coming back to it for a while. Beautiful sound. I feel amazing while I read this. I eagerly await new work by Jesse Seldess. check out his penn sound...
