Autumn Weeds

Life is hard sometimes; this is true for all living things. 

AND still, there are autumn weeds, bursting forth with surprising loveliness everywhere. 

Before long,the weeds will brown and fold beneath the weight of winter snow. Frost graffiti upon windows will then inspire us, offering prisms of light in the mornings.  

In the Jewish calendar, we are in the midst of Yomim Noraim, the Days of Awe. I am humbled by the beauty of this world, awed by the mystery of life, grateful for the ability to see clearly, to breathe, to walk for short distances, to speak, to hear, to listen, to taste, to love, to learn, to give, to receive, to be present to the Presence of Holiness when I stop and pay attention.

We are still away visiting family and friends in PA. I'll have some time to visit your blogs next week from home:-) Thank you for all of the beautiful New Year blessings.
