(prepped on the 21st ... at least the title which I have gotten mis-dated a few time and fixed... anyway - IF I write something on the 21st -- I will note that... otherwise -- )
Well it is the 22nd .. .almost noon... been to rotary, sang, etc.. then went to ecology committee meeting at Upper Crust... and then gathered some stuff for contributing to Goodwill. No Steve this morning. Then - to Safeway for a sandwich, cheese, and cole slaw.... Looking forward to lunch!! AND - re-filled hummingbird feeders. NOW this writing. Soon reading Soloveichick .. then lunch... more reading, piano, then workout... and then dinner w/Neal... and finally? - Kaddish at CBH.
Feeling pretty good. Weight holding ... and stock market shot up today... What a rollercoaster.
And blood pressure: 156/79 on retake... orange!
As for profundity today ... maybe later.... before I close this note and after my reading.
Profound? -- A confession/admission I've made before in various venues... I AM NOT CREATIVE... or so I say and think. Not artistic. Not artistically creative. SO - am I/can I be personally creative? Inventing or reinventing myself? OR finally - CREATING MYSELF..... as a Repentant Man as per Sloveitchick... at least the intro section. To come close to G-d it says there - we create a more aware self -- believing and knowing G-d! And G-d's ways. SO to that end I gave away a non-kosher sandwich I bought earlier and which I have been wanting/craving for a while.. waiting for it to come on sale for 5 dollars at Safeway. BUT I have to change NOW!!! If not now - when? Also - I WILL (probably) have a cheeseburger tonight AND I will have with me and say a prayer acknowledging G-d and hoping I do not offend the Torah invocation!!! And here is that prayer:
Baruch atah hashem
Blessed art though Lord G-d.
I partake of this cheeseburger hoping cows from which the meat and the cheese came were not related or even close which is likely. It is possible they were one and the same and I am going against the Talmudic fence around the Law but I do hope and pray there was separation and I will be understood to not wanting to be cruel to the animals nor disobediant to you G-d. I am trying to take the road of awareness and truth in our 21st Century modern world. I hope to be doing your will. Amen.
