yom kippur gratitude

11pm. balmy fall. near the end of a verrrrrry long week. in brooklyn at my desk. clock ticking. warm light.

i am grateful for:

1) the lovely breaking of fast (even tho i wasn’t fasting!) at s’s place. so yummy and homey and apple-honey-y

2) the hot pink and orange walls at laughing lotus

3) my little spiritual counseling session with s.c. today. a bit of clarity gained, reflection, questions asked that i don’t want to think about (which means i need to), reminders of a bigger picture.

4) mary. who showed today in the form of miriam, the nail-spa masseuse, and in a story from s.c.

5) getting wholer

6) that we didn’t launch today

7) bagels, cream cheese, lox, and capers

8) home

9) upper body strength

10) that i’m starting to see my candidate of choice in the white house

11) the tender moment before a mass illusion drops like a calving iceberg

12) a new new year
