Dear Silly Ones,
It's Rosh Hashanah, a new year for the Jewish people. I like to declare a new year for all. Always a good time to nurture and mark newness. Our mission is everyone's: to bring a more peaceful world, a healed earth. "Tikkun Olam" means just that, to heal the earth.
So, dear Sillies, Shana Tova. That is, "Happy New Year!"
Diclaimer: Forgive this half-tuchased (polite Yiddish word for "assed") rhyme. I'm rusty. Haven't written a poem in years. This is a silly, practice run. Thank you
OLDIES
We're old
and we've begot A LOT
We fought, got caught
We died and then
survived to press
repeat again
So hold to hope
and visions sweet
For where there's care
There's no defeat.
And heck
Love keeps us all in check!
Happy 5783
That's darn old
Or is it just me?
A peaceful world would be nice.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, Mary!
DeleteHappy New Year dear friend. With more to come. And yes, we badly need peace. In our homes, hearts and heads.
ReplyDeleteShana Tovah, EC. Peace to you and the world.
DeleteRosh Hashanah blessings to you, Robyn. I hope 5783 will overflow with all the sweetness of life for you and JT!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debra. Appreciated.
DeleteHey, just saw this fun video and sending it along in case you haven't seen it yet -- https://youtu.be/BInIHDF0Z8o
DeleteI had to look this up... "The Hebrew year count starts in year 3761 BCE, which the 12th-century Jewish philosopher Maimonides established as the biblical Date of Creation."
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Very cool, Mike. I did not know this, but Maimonides was quite a scholar. Thank you, friend.
DeleteHappy New Year and challah bread sounds tasty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex. It's delicious. You should give it a try sometime. Be well, and thanks for dropping by during a break from blogland!
DeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane.
DeleteHappy New Year! It might be old, but a "new year wish" for love never goes out of style. All the best to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteNever, Joanne. Thank you. Blessings back to you and yours.
DeleteDear Robyn, your closing lines move me greatly:"5783, that's darn old, or is it just me?" --how we feel: Pushing our collective selves into the shifting infinite of moment and purpose --an honor to have you along.
ReplyDeleteYour presence always inspires me, dear friend. Gratitude.
DeletePeace is something we need all over this globe but, I don't think it's ever going to happen.
ReplyDeleteWe can only do our little part. In Judaism, it's said "To save a life is to save the world." Beatiful sentiment.
DeleteShana Tova, Robyn.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeff.
DeleteA Peaceful World, such a wonderful thought and hope; I wonder if we'll ever experience it in our lifetimes.
ReplyDeleteWaving hi as I make my blog rounds and hope you're doing well.

I missed this so I hope your holiday was great...as great as the bread. I feel too old using that number. I'll stick with 2022 which means I just hatched out of the egg compared to your new date.
