What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago?
A year ago the actions of some left me truly confused and was overwhelming to me
Today, though some things will never make sense, I don't dwell on them quite so much and they aren't as shocking to me as they once were
A year ago, I suffered the loss of what I considered to be some good friends
Today I realise they never really were, I've come to grips with it.
A year ago I relied too heavily on leaders to guide and teach
Today I rely on the One Teacher to enables me to walk out the traditions I love so dearly
A year ago I thought all shepherds really knew how to be just that
Today I've learned not to assume , to lower my expectations, and be very watchful
A year ago I wondered how I would observe the High Holy Days without a formal community
Today, I've learned I can.
A year ago I thought a faith community meant a large number of members gathering weekly to worship and study
Today G-d has reshaped and redefined to me what community is ( I'm so thankful )
A year ago I thought I knew myself
Today I'm learning to me more self aware of thoughts, actions and emotions
Tagging along for the journey!
