change, love, thanks

Since two months ago, my life has changed dramatically.

I live in a different apartment in a different city. Like so many others, I take the train to work every morning and rely on it to return home every afternoon. I mount the same train car, stand in (almost) the same spot, and see the same faces, postures, and black jacket with white star painted onto the back. Some days, I feel tired, but I am invariably happy. My happiness visits me much more regularly, and last for longer than the night. 

In the last two months, I have changed the way I exercise, socialize, and understand my place in the larger scheme of human society. I feel much more well-placed. Love permeates much more of my day, every day. The difference is palpable, and it is rare these days that moments of empty feelings stay empty for long.

To the cosmos, the gods, and my ancestors, I offer sincere thanks. I want to take care to respect these gentle and profound gifts, and the relationships that sustain them.

Thank you.

exercise for tomorrow / תרגיל למחר

When I wake at the special hour, I will seek the sun from inside my house.  With cold tea, I will watch 0:05 of 5 videos and choose 1 special moment from only 3. I will keep that moment the whole day. כשאקום שעה מיוחדת אחפס את השמש מתוך הבית. עם תה קר, אנתח 0:05 של 5 קטעי וידאו ואבחור 1 רגע מיוחד רק מ3. הולך ךשמור את הרגע הזה כל היום מחר 1 start with one I know  יודע    2 then, with one I like  אוהב       3 then with one that I didn't know לא ידעתי          4 one I admire  מעריץ             5 finally, one from the company I work with מעבודה עכשיוית
