What are you meditating on Tonight? It’s Rosh Hashanna, The New Year. The weather is pleasant. We have our apples, our honey, our new fruit, our pomegrantes. I’ve been getting emails about other people’s special customs. And as usual, my good friends and I have been asking each other for forgiveness. In 10 days, we fast. After that, it is Succos. It’s my favorite time of year. The smell of the leaves, the food, the people, the warm wishes, andf the medidations upon greeting the season of harvest and a new year.
It’s also the perfect time to take up, beyond for the usual, forgiveness (hey we walk around with prayers that Go “And who shall live, and who shall die”, and then enumerate the ways we die, before proclaiming that charity, prayer, and good deeds save people) to start self reflecting. You have a lot of synagoguge time. In an orthodox synagogue (if it weren’t also shabbos) there is also shofar blowing for two days. It’s upwards of 4-8 hours, sum total, throughout each of the two days of Rosh Hashanna. And the structure of that synagogue time leaves a lot of silent time to think You might want something to think on.
I’ve decided to go for the Solonomic Request- for wisodm to make good choices. I realized recently I’m very young, and unwise, and I could die tomorrow. (God Forbid). I at least want to say I am trying to making the right choices, as hard as they may be. They may not always confrom to the Law, for I am young and still figuring things out, yet I still want to say for everything that I do, I am trying my best to live up to something and to add value. This is especially hard, because I know one of my personal weaknesses is that I am a bit emotional. I empathize with the world around me.
It’s to be able to have wisdom to know how to stand strong, and how to bend, if necessary. Gonna be a difficult request, especially because the reality is, the only one who can truly fulfill it, is me. May I figure out the wisdom thing sometime soon.

They had sucky choices, as usual Jcarrot had something offbeat, enjoy, especially if you like food.
