Take heart. The Torah begins "with Rush". The first four letters. Talk about an honor.

The ending [ית-] of the first word "bereshith" can form abstract nouns and diminuatives. At this link it also lists its use in describing ..

vehicles.

In the beginning:

בראשית

with or in a little Rush,

in a Rush-vehicle

It's the simple meaning, as the world-famous "harmless, lovable little fuzzball" was the vehicle for getting the message out about the worthless, sunshine-stealing, Can't-Do Establishment.

The voice of hope and freedom. That's the word straight from the "top" (head, beginning) [ראש].

Rush's passing on Ash Wednesday really rubbed in the messaging. The next day, Perseverance (with a little Ingenuity in his belly) landed on Mars after a 203-day journey. 203 is the sum of the first 3 letters of the Torah [ברא] which are repeated as the second word, "created." [ברא]

Yet some people think that the God of Abraham is asleep at the switch, or something.

Rush, who was 70, lives on.

Dare mighty things.

It was the day the voice (intellect, wit, enthusiasm) and “Talent on Loan from God” died. There is no replacement, just a void as always happens after death. Rush was a welcome unique treasure on earth for a time.

It was, is a deep bitter loss amongst so many other (seeming) losses in my short human view (pessimistically optimistic!?).

Thanks always for your long view perspective. “God is the Ruler yet.” That insight is greatly appreciated, esp with repetition & links.
