Dear friends, many months have gone by. My circumstances prevented me from continuing our correspondence. Thank, G-d, things are back to normal therefore let’s reconnect.
We, of the Jewish Faith, are beginning to think of the Holy Days that are almost upon us. As usual, we are taking stock and asking ourselves “Have we responded to the great tasks of human living? Are we related to one another? Have we sought connections or have we been guilty of creating divisions between one another?” The second question being posed in this moment of history – “Are we penned in, unable to stretch our limbs and add our creative thoughts to the great debates of our time?”. A third question “Have we granted ourselves the privilege of free expression or do we feel it is our duty to forever say Amen and never ask Why?”
These are serious questions… Most of the problems facing humankind are outgrowths of untruth, fear of not being accepted, forever sensing someone is watching us and waiting to trip us up. I for one, feel this is not G-d’s way. This is human failing. We have been taught by the Great teachers of the East and the West, the Truth shall make you free. When truth is taken from the table then the human fails.
I would like to dialogue with you. May I hear from you?
Shalom

Semper Paratus to Answer a Sky Blog
When the sword’s in the stone, try the slingshot
or the…….whatever.
In the rotted-out bole of a maple, I keep
an extra pencil.
And phantom pens (like kayaks) ride my ears.
He who prepares
listens everyday for music,
music like a natural growth,
a flower or a tree,
grounded and led to
from the interior of dying stars.
Shalom,
Henry
