I miss yameinu c'kedem; being amid others - their ideas, songs, laughter, silences. Nowadays my companions are poets reaching from another century. Lea Goldberg confides of waiting in a cafe at night, longing for her beloved. Yehuda Amichai shares prophesies granted by fruit acquired at an outdoor market. Together we pray.

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.

So many discoveries as we stay close to home. New places to hike, walk, cycle; beautiful forests, hills, trails, ponds to explore. For the new year, discoveries close to home take on a different meaning as I look inward. Pay attention to my inner voice. Listen. Stop moving. Time for change and growth.
