and the moment of truth approaches

Wow, friends, my first complete High Holiday Cycle-- what a ride! From Slichot before Rosh Hashanah, to a week of shaking the Lulav, and finally a wild Simchat Torah all day today and last night. It's really amazing how deep this stuff can be, and how joyous these Jews are when in the thick of it. (Forgive me for not writing much and forgive me for not explaining all those weird Hebrew words up there-- it's late, I gotta sleep, I been busy, I'm lazy, etc...)

What happens, wanderingstu.com fans, when you come back to the place where you once truly felt at home, and you realize that you are home-- not like home in Israel, never to return, but home in terms of lifestyle, community, spirit in the air-- home in the existential sense? What happens when you remember what quickened your soul the most in this world, and then wake up to the incompatability of this realization with your current situation??

That's the question of the month (of the year)-- and I'll leave it with you now, vague as it is, and hope for some valuable insights from all y'all (whoever is out there... are you out there??????)

Much love- hoping to see you all soon.

Of all people, you should know for certain how out there I truly am. In with the joy, out with the burning! In with the sauce, out with the crumbs! Love on your head!
