The air is cooler, softer
the new start
new school
supplies
season
Jewish year
fresh start
Fall has always been my favorite season
Rosh Hashanah is approaching
It starts with Elul:
that Jewish month that starts whilst summer still lingers
and whispers
“they’re coming…
it’s time
start thinking
it’s sobering
start wondering
tracking
accounting
resolving”
Thirty days prior to the holiday
must prepare
NO, silly
not the honey
not the chickens
not the apple picking.

That was the easy part.

The reflection
selection
connection
is the hard part.

Serious holiday.  Whazzat?

Hard because ignorance is bliss.

Truly: harder not to
