We begin a new month - October.
We begin the Hebrew new year - 5777.

I search for something important...meaningful...memorable to say.
It's all been said before. Hasn't it?

It's a gift - this returning and beginning.
Again.
This time of reflection...of introspection...of quiet observation and contemplation.

We hope for a more peaceful world.
We welcome in grace.
We seek greater compassion....deeper understanding...increased tolerance.

We are all the same.

It's beautiful. Isn't it?
The colors. The ground. The sky. The trees. The change.

To those who are celebrating - I wish you a sweet new year.
May it be filled with kindness...connection....creativity....gratitude...joy and peace.
