Shabbos white

or Gap blue shirt

Judgement calls

always hurt

Thank you G-d

for a moment of prayer

an oasis of breath

any time, any where

Written tonight after Maariv, while in the moment as well as rethinking a part of yesterday when I was a lone tie-less blue shirt in a sea of black ties, black suits, and white shirts.

Weddings are a time for reflection and going inside oneself - but that's how I feel about all times.

Each and every moment of life is an occasion - the "big" ones can overshadow the "small" ones, but we can also see the small moments more clearly from the vantage point of the big ones.

Don't let life slip away.

Don't become a person who says the above line to others based on experience.

Into mystery we all walk, perhaps never more so than on our wedding night.

Nothing serves as well as a cliche', sometimes, to sum things up: "Nothing is easy."

Greatness can be built upon ink and sliced wood.

Some truths are simple: "Fear G-d and keep his commandments"

Written last Thursday night while awaiting the Chuppah of Josh Podolsky, an unusually wise and kind young man.
