Sometimes it is the thinnest of threads which keeps a people from judgment. A “little leaven” or a “little salt” can save a whole lump. The want of “five righteous” has and can destroy a whole city. When you consider so thin a thread as that, you must surely realize there are no private sins. Each life has cosmic meaning.
One thought on “a little leaven”

I find the concept of threads interesting. Abraham said “I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latchet nor aught that is thine”. He wanted nothing to do or to “owe” to Sodom. It is also sometimes the smallest of threads that keep us attached to the world, which has and also can with time destroy a soul.
