If you were to ask me my favorite time to blog (go ahead, make my day) I'd probably say, "Right before Shabbos." On the one hand it's a hard time, some would say a wrong time to write. On the other hand the words flow and it feels like this time of transition is a time that calls to be captured in print.

There are things on the floor that shouldn't be. There are things on the table that shouldn't be. (There are sentences ending in ways that they shouldn't be). And yet.

The week is evaporating. I sigh it out. The sun heads down, and for one day a week I notice. A different aura enters and I'd like to say I feel it.

I try to be a tiny bit original in the wording I choose. After writing the above I opened Rabbi Twerski's Prayerfully Yours to look at a thought on Shabbos. I was surprised by the wording of the paragraph I opened to.

"On Shabbos we can put the past behind us... Any differences that occurred between people should evaporate." Prayerfully Yours pg. 279

More than I keep you

You keep me - sane and alive

Week in and week out

And yet I play hard to get

As you, Shabbat, approach me

P.S. A student asked if my book is available on line, so I took a look. It's available, but don't buy this book - yet. Take a sneak peek, but wait for some technical points to be fixed before purchasing any (I'm also waiting).
