Ilu...If Only

I found this posted on Facebook by a friend.

Dayenu
It literally means "It would have been enough". This site translates the text.
Ilu means "if only"

I played this video because I'm having a shortage of peace these days and any exploration could be helpful.
And also because, in my struggles with the G word, and spirit, and just plain wishing for more love in the world, it's good for me to peek into religious beliefs of others now & then to see if I might be missing something.

Remembering grammar, I felt something niggling at me. I did not remember it is called Past Conditional.
"Things would have been different if another situation or condition had been met." an explanation of Past Conditional English from here.
So, IF this had happened (been done), it WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH.

It looks like a catalogue of regrets to me. Any comments?

Who are We and Why ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Itsa Village is the online presence of a group of women who meet IRL twice a month to talk about aging, living and dying, health, money, funerals, ageism, etc. And to share our joys and sorrows as we experience this life as Women and as Elders, Olders, Crones, or Hags. Along the way, we are claiming and usually redefining these words, for ourselves and others. We've come to understand that we need Community to continue aging as independently as possible. Yes, the capital C Community. So for us, community equals Interdependence which equals a greater freedom than we might manage on our own as time moves on for us all.

Our Rules

What happens in the group stays in the group, including the names of members.
Stay on the subject as much as you/we can. (Sometimes the tangents are valuable; sometimes no.)
Don't offer advice unless it is specifically invited.
Don't interrupt another person.
Speak in the first person as much as possible.

Itsa Village

Itsa Village is a small community of women building relationships and exploring the wonders and pitfalls of aging.
