The world is
round, and life is linear. Some may think we do return in another form. Some
may think we do go on in another sphere. I am witnessing several lives in this
calendar one. As I change, so does the life I am leading.
The week long
holiday of Passover bodes open festivity and vacation and family reunions. We
celebrate the departure from Egypt, the desert crossing, the arrival into the
land of milk and honey.
At this point
in my life it seems that almost every day is a crossing and an arrival! I am,
at times, sad to see the day end, yet elated to see a new one begin! I know
that all life must end, and I am indeed part of that “all”. Having acted
professionally, and having taught Drama, I had opportunities to change persona
as well as life situations as well as to create such for my students. That may
be just why actors choose that profession. I know it has been my pleasure.
There is a fine
book I heartily recommend THE FIVE INVITATIONS by Frank Ostaseski.
It encompasses
what death can teach us about living fully. My latest feeling about this
matter-—for the last year or so, has been that not only the proverbial cat has
nine lives, but I do too.
I have not been
a procrastinator, but even less so now as time shortens, I delight in the
speed-up.
“Enjoy
yourself! It’s Later Than You Think”, a good song to sing at holiday time when
we naturally allow ourselves to mark special days on our calendars. How? What? When?
Where?
With Whom?
“Give” had become the big adjective for me
until very recently when “take” took the fore- ground. I had to seek financial help
for my dental needs. Take is harder for me than Give is what I learned. I will
now turn around to GIVE again.
Wheels turn,
and we generally enjoy watching that activity. Life turns, and we hope to keep
it in place .Funny, huh?
How about some
dialogue regarding “give and take”? If you are up to it, that is, I would like to
read some expressions of those verbs in your lives from you.
Meanwhile, Yoga
classes keep me sane and fit to breathe!

you” messages to all who receive this blog,
