Springtime fears eased with meditation, Boker Tov, family dinners, creative endeavors. Summer saw new, masked way of being - children leaving home, again; work resuming; parents remaining unvisited; dog passing. Heartache. And yet, now Fall approaches with Elul reflections on sweetness: familial love, meaningful work, comfy home, faithful friendships, caring community.

  1. this is so meaningful, Beth. Among all the other responses I could make---I'm so sorry about your dog's passing. Time for a puppy?

Renewal will come. As the calendar turns, and my thoughts turn to the annual rhythms of the holidays, I feel deeply how off-beat everything is now. But I have hope and know that the next moment is not this moment, renewal will come, and we will return again. L’shanna tovah!

Does brisket come that small? A whole kugel for 3? And what about the cakes? So much leftover to pick at, little by little.  Maybe this year it’s a different menu, honoring the planet, respecting our bodies as well as tradition. Acknowledging a different year. Still, apples and sweet honey.

Jewish and Buddhist practices help me live meaningfully through crisis and the unknowns. How to become a more peaceful “warrior”, the most holy version of myself? My teshuvah means acquiring ometz lev (a courageous heart), integrating my thinking and working for just causes to contribute to the radical changes that are needed in our world.
