Perhaps the most "spiritual" thing any of us can do is simply to look through our own eyes, see with eyes of wholeness, and act with integrity and kindness.
Jon Kabat-Zinn,

“There are two questions that we have to ask ourselves. The 1st is " Where am I going?" and the 2nd is "Who will go with me?"
If you ever get these questions in the wrong order , you are in trouble.”
HOWARD THURMAN

Rabbi Brous:"Stay strong today, and in the days ahead, you who stand on the side of justice and love, of equity, equality and liberation. We will prevail. Remember that hope is both an act of defiance and an expression of love. For ourselves, for our children, and for the future."

Sue Magidson: "May you be what’s needed.
May you be of service.
May you be a blessing."

Richard Gilbert:
“Life is a brief interval between birth and death.

May we celebrate the interval with joy;

May we sing the song that belongs to us;

May we act as if our very life depended on it.”

Shabbat shalom from our home to yours!

Our purpose in life is to grow in wisdom and in love.
Rachel Naomi Remen MD,

Keep our anger from becoming meanness.
Keep our sorrow from collapsing into self-pity.
Keep our hearts soft enough to keep breaking.
Keep our outrage turned toward justice, not curelty.
Remind us that all of this, every bit of it, is for love.
Keep us fiercely kind.
Amen.”
― Laura Jean Truman

May it be my custom to go outdoors each day
among the trees and grass – among all growing things
and there may I be alone, and enter into prayer…” 
–Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav

Joseph Pintauro: “… but remember,
everything is not every
possible thing
everything is only all
there is here and now
somewhen,
there will be more than there is.
you are not everything
but everything
could not be
everything without
you.”

Rabbi Rami Shapiro:"Become good, work at being better, insist that religion serve that end, and we may all come through the madness of modernity with our heads, hearts, and hands open to the wonder, grace, and love that is life lived at its best and most free."

Caitlin Cotter Coillberg:
May we carry joy into each new day, and practice hope even and especially in the midst of grief and uncertainty. May we have the courage to love, again and again and again, and may we love with the fierce determination our world and lives demand.

Rabbi Jennifer Singer:
"...As we look at the fires of hatred and fear and ignorance burning all around, I think it’s time that each person choose one, and then do their best to help douse the flames. I don’t care which fire you choose. There are more than enough to engage us all..."

A big hello and love from us both!

Good morning !Adrienne Rich writes:

“My heart is moved by all I cannot save:
so much has been destroyed
I have to cast my lot with those
who age after age, perversely,
with no extraordinary power,
reconstitute the world.
A passion to make, and make again
where such un-making reigns.”

Hello out there:)
