...as your story, The King's Outstretched Scepter, reminds me, life is filled with wonder and enchantment...but also hope and grace. In the book where G_d is not mentioned a single time (Megliat Haddasah) He shows his grace and love for his queen by accepting her just as she is; faith in the form of bravery is rewarded by acceptance and love. May we all be accepted for who we are, yes. Purim Sameach!
