06/40 From Rabbi Brian

 Of health and sickness.
 

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”  

 

Krishnamurti wrote that.   

 

How true, how true.  

 

I oughtn’t be at ease.   

 

How could I be and be conscious of the world around me!   

 

I oughtn’t be blissed out, content, at peace! The ills of society (I need not name them) are upsetting.   

  

You ought not expect yourself to be well-adjusted.  We all ought to be slightly maladjusted.   

 

Spiritual-religious advice: Love yourself, love others, and minister/tend to making this world better place.

With love,

Rabbi Brian

Refractory Anxiety

I am supposed to arrive at the wedding rehearsal at 4 p.m. I planned on arriving 15–20 minutes early. Because I don’t like being late. However, I took a wrong turn. At the intersection of the I-5 South and the I-405 South, I went the wrong way. Now, I’ll have to turn around in a mile and a half and

No words. No words.

To offset our discomfort about our upcoming visit to the Terezín (in German: Theresienstadt) concentration camp/ghetto, Emmett and I fall into making dark jokes. Gallows humor. “Do you think they still give free tattoos upon arrival?” “Want to wear matching pajamas for our tour?” Dark, ugly jokes.  Because reality is just too overwhelming. The feelings are too overwhelming. So we

Has anyone seen my keys?!

Jane and the kids misplace keys. Not me. I don’t. I always return my key to the keyrack. That’s where they go. When the key isn’t on the hook, which happens from time to time, I find it on some surface in the house. Usually, the kitchen table. Then, without fanfare, I pick it up, hang it up, and restrain
