As an incurable romantic, I have always loved the Dark Lords of literature and myth. This is because to me, the antihero make us question what is normal, and help us see spirituality as incredibly complex.
As Jews, when we hear of someone’s death, our first response is supposed to be to say, “Baruch Dayan Ha’emet,” Yet when I read the news of Carrie Fisher’s death, I couldn’t do it. I yelled, “No,” before I realized sounds were coming from my mouth.
