There was much on my mind today and I was reminded and tried to remind myself that we can’t all fix all the problems of the world. If you save one life it is as though you have saved the world, Jewish tradition says. We don’t know what we may do that may change the world, or change the world for someone. We can only do what we can and keep going and do it again.<\/p>\n

Some of us are probably thinking – hey I thought we were free and clear of all this trouble and life could return to normal but I am pretty sure that’s not going to happen for a long while. So take a breath, enjoy the sun and air when you can, do what you must to be strong for another day. It’s not all your problem to fix. Maybe it’s enough to be an ear for someone, or to look up some information that someone needs, or to stand up to one person and say no, that’s not acceptable. One day at at time. One thing at a time. Whatever you can do here and now.<\/p>\n

waiting for sleep
\ni tell myself – i am
\nsitting in a slice of boat
\nlong, narrow
\ngliding down a dark
\nglowing above with wiggling
\nglittering below with reflection
\nthe light of everything
\neverywhere
\ni am
\nin a narrow slicing
\nthe sound of a knife
\nthe glint of a blade
\ni am free<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
