5787
Hi, folks. As the sun sets tonight, the year 5787 begins. No wonder I’m exhausted.
Just kidding! That number represents the Hebrew calendar year, welcomed in by Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. It begins the Days of Awe, ten days of deep introspection and contemplation, culminating in Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement.
It’s a time to quiet down, look inside, and rest comfortably.
I am leaning in that direction. I don’t have many words right now. I am settling in from travel, reestablishing almost-practically-normal-ish sleep patterns, and savoring this change of season.
The days are shorter. Leaves are beginning to fall. Wow, autumn, how I love you already. I find the cooler weather such a blessed gift.
Wishing you an easy and rich week,
And a blessed new year, no matter what you celebrate—
Softening into change,
Opening into possibility.

Music! I loved listening to this Playing for Change song. Their mission is such a gift to us all, weaving many voices into one voice, many nationalities into one song. Enjoy, enjoy.
Blessings to all,
From Aruni
