Mah SheIrah UMah Shehayah

the Rambam writes
that on the Seder night
we must speak of what happened
and we must speak of what was
what happened happened
and what was was
what happened lives in us
the way it happened in us
and what was disappears
the actual fact was and left
and yet G-d says remember
the going out from Egypt
and the Rambam explains
know the fact that's gone
and know the live story
and so too with our life
our own life exoduses
what was was, now gone
then there's what happened
and happens- again, again
and yes, G-d says- remember
even if it's not what was
remember what happened.
