I write a lot about faith, but it’s a hard topic to discuss–to describe. People who don’t have faith can’t fathom it. Tonight, however, I watched a movie that had a great analogy for faith, albeit an unlikely one: the potato. Although Faith Like Potatoes was a bit too Christian in orientation for my tastes, […]

We spend much of our life trying to prepare for what we think will happen or what we hope will happen or what we want to happen in the future. We make plans. We get training. We pack. We save. We think positive thoughts. We imagine what it will be like. We plot out our

For a long time I struggled with how to define Kabbalah. I’d talk about the different major books, like the Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Creation), and the major teachers, such as Abraham Abulafia and Isaac Luria. I never failed, however, to mention the definition of the Hebrew word itself – kabbalah. And as my study took

A few weeks ago I went to the eye doctor for my annual exam. I discovered, once again, that my vision has gotten worse. In particular, my left eye has deteriorated–I was shocked how much. As I’ve waited for my new glasses to arrive, I’ve been acutely aware of the fact that I really don’t

We are often told to watch our thoughts or to change our thoughts so we can create what we want in life. I’ve often written here on this blog that I do, indeed, believe our thoughts are creative. I’ve also said that we can’t just think our way to manifesting what we want. Yes, occasionally,

I hate to admit it, but over the last few years have found myself not practicing anything very spiritual. I haven’t practiced my religion. I haven’t practiced meditation. I haven’t practiced rituals. I haven’t practiced connecting to anything “higher” with my Tarot or Kabbalah cards or my pendulum. I haven’t observed Shabbat on a regular

As a Jew, I’m now in the midst of Days of Awe, the 10 days between the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Repentance, Yom Kippur. During this time we are supposed to take an accounting of our sins and repent for them. However, I think the biggest sin of all is

The Jewish New Year comes in the autumn, at a time when things are not new at all but old. Here in Northern California, everything is brown and dry from the drought. Around most of the United States. the trees are turning colors and dropping leaves. Everything is going dormant. It’s a bit like a

September 11 came and went fairly quietly–at least at my home. Yet, I was aware of what day it was and what the date commemorated. For others, I know it was noisy–in their hearts and heads. And, of course, there were memorial services. I often think about the souls that left this earth on 9-11,

The sky here in Northern California is clear and bright. Tonight, August 31, 2012, I’ll be able to see the blue moon. When two full moons occur in any calendar month, the second is called a blue moon. The term (in its modern usage) has nothing to do with the moon’s color. A blue moon

“Can you really let go?” I asked myself this question today when I left my son a long message on Facebook telling him I was basically “cutting the apron strings” and letting him handle his own stuff. To a great extent, I have not choice but to let go; he’s in Germany. I can’t help

A strange thing happens to me when my life feels out of control in any way. I start cleaning. I don’t mean just dusting and vacuuming. I don’t do that much of that. (I admit that the one splurge I allow myself in my life is a person who actually cleans the house every two
