The Days of Your Life – Parshat Bo

"A day in the life, a moment of connection with God is a lifetime. Every breath we take is a world of opportunity. Every moment. Time looks like a heartless, relentless march forever forward to our end. As poet William Carlos Williams said, “Time is a storm in which we are all lost.” But is time a rapidly dwindling, limited resource that we must spend frivolously before it’s all gone? Maybe time isn’t a desperate scrabble to use it all up – before we run out of it. The English word ‘moment’ comes from the Latin word momentum, implying relentless movement – The march of time. The Hebrew word for time - rega, comes from ragua, which means a state of calm or rest. The rest of your life.They are the tools of the artists of the soul.

Artists of the Soul

My life as a Jew is brimful of constrictions and restrictions. It is these very restrictions, however, that are the paint and canvas that make the physical world speak in the language of the spirit. They are the tools of the artists of the soul.
