ONLOOKERS
Who are your onlookers -
those who are watching you?
They have their list of
expectations for you.
Did you know that? They don’t tell you,
but they tell others behind your back.
Guess what? You’re
doing this as well.
You have expectations of others.
It’s called “Life”. It’s called,
“Hope.” It’s called, “Community”.
However, when there are walls,
it's also called, "Loneliness."

Thought for today:
“One day I asked my father for find me a master who could guide me in my studies of Kabbalah. ‘You are too young for that. Maimomides tells us that one must be thirsty before venturing into the world of mysticism, a world fraught with peril. First you must study the basic studies, those you are able to comprehend."

PRESENTATION
As Shakespeare put it,
“All the world’s a stage ….”
And there we are every day
presenting ourselves - with
our entrances and our exits -
with our gifts and our talents,
with our presentations to each other.
But as Walt Whitman put it,
“To have great poets, there
must be great audiences too.”
May we be just that each day:
great audiences - clapping
and present for each other.

EVOLUTION
There are still people who
don’t believe in evolution.
“Hello!”
They miss seeing people
learning to play the piano.
“Hello!”
They miss people learning
to change their opinions.
“Hello!”
They fail to see how having
children change their parents.
“Hello!”
They miss God at every Holy Water
font and every swimming pool.
“Hello!”
