The English translation of biblical Hebrew might be somewhat different depending on the interpreter, therefore, I have included more than one rendition for some words.

The New York's Chief Medical Examiners’s report which found he died by suicidal hanging using a bed sheet caught my attention. Previously, the public was made aware of the determined cause of his death but the autopsy report was detailed in a February article by the BBC.

The statue of a woman, blindfolded or not, holds the scales of justice in one hand and a sword in the other. She epitomizes the tenets of fairness, impartiality, and the weight of reliable evidence to punish someone for a crime or find them liable for a civil violation. From the femininity of the figure we can infer mercy and understanding coupled with the...]]></description><link>https://www.myrandomdeath.com/post/terror-of-a-tyrant</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698121ae99fa9e70ea606fed</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Feb 2026 16:22:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3fbc6a_c68587fc352b41a286b04f21fa5c10da~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Myra Mossman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intuition &#38; Machines ]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Oxford Dictionary defines the word intuition as, “the ability to understand something immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning”. Some people use their intuition to fix things. This handy person doesn’t exactly know how they know what to do. Frankly speaking, as an intuitive handywoman my first reaction to anything broken is panic. After the initial “WTF” moment, I calm myself down to watch and listen to the sounds and smells of the machine or I try to remember what it should...]]></description><link>https://www.myrandomdeath.com/post/intuition-machines</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6951d657269811cce7fe56dc</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jan 2026 15:46:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3fbc6a_c68587fc352b41a286b04f21fa5c10da~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Myra Mossman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lost Tooth]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most adults realize a fairy will not leave money under their pillow when a tooth comes out. The folklore no longer alleviates the unpleasantness of a pulled tooth or in modern times an implant that went bad and must be extracted. Now a hole remains. Once out of your mouth that tooth is gone. Think of it as a “small death”, or an easy way to imagine passing away but in bite size pieces. In Greek mythology the god of death is called Thanatos, while his twin brother Hypnos is the god of sleep,...]]></description><link>https://www.myrandomdeath.com/post/the-lost-tooth</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6920bf5724c04b1753db42e1</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2025 16:39:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3fbc6a_c68587fc352b41a286b04f21fa5c10da~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Myra Mossman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strength]]></title><description><![CDATA[I had a disagreement with God on the most holiest of days. It began with a question, a most familiar one, “Why is this night different from all other nights?”. Traditionally asked on Passover by the youngest child at the seder, but this particular night concerned Yom Kippur , which is not a holiday of celebration. Instead of feasting, from sunset to sunset we fast. As a form of suffering, we go without food from sundown to sundown. Instead of rejoicing, we solemnly ask the divine to forgive...]]></description><link>https://www.myrandomdeath.com/post/strength</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6908c2f5af44d38e2ca4b9b5</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:09:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3fbc6a_0791c32c0a10464aa7e44c81d11ac0ff~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Myra Mossman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Watcher Listens.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Let's focus on the Watcher of Life. This aspect of ourselves does not look inward, although that is just as important, but rather observes the goings on around us. Most importantly, it involves the ability to listen. The primary prayer in Judaism, the  Shema, addresses one’s faith and love of God and begins with the call for the community of Israel to listen to God. “ Shema Israel" or "Hear O Israel.” In his article for Jewish Magazine, author Dan Brooks reminds us of this important detail...]]></description><link>https://www.myrandomdeath.com/post/the-watcher-listens</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68d8c3954c8425dc7bfc735e</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Oct 2025 01:40:35 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3fbc6a_ced7c22e340e4b4e938d5187adf6b53b~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Myra Mossman</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Renewal]]></title><description><![CDATA[Life changing transformations happen.
