A thought…

=========================================================================

Zeitgeist is a German loan-word meaning the “spirit of an age.” It’s the feeling that everyone around feels.
The sense I have had in the last two days has been pretty rough. I’ve talked with a lot of folk, and it seems we all are having a particularly hard time — overly sad, stressed, on-edge, disappointed, frustrated, etc. No one seems to be quite the best version on themselves in the past few days to a week.
I don’t know really what caused it. (Was it the sensational royal wedding followed by the sensational death of Bin Laden? Or, is it simply that the stars and planets are aligned maliciously?)
Something in me felt moved to send this e-mail in case you too were feeling the odd zeitgeist these days. There seems to be some comfort knowing I’m not alone.

Spiritual-religious advice: See if you can’t be more aware of your breaths than of your thoughts.

With love,

Rabbi Brian

Because you know how to write a letter and this way you

Love. With Bread. ✧✧✧ I live in a very progressive city. But, not everyone is of one mind. In fact, three houses to the north live Merrilee and Sardar, who, prior to the 2020 election, posted a “Trump—MAGA 2020” sign in their yard. The day Biden was elected, I texted them that a number of my friends and I were
