(This is actually a repost of last year's "act" post but I think it's still pretty true.)
It's all an act.
Every day.
Putting on a mask to
find the quiet space
inside.
It's all an act.
Every day.
Getupgetdressedgetgoing.
It's all an act.
Every day.
A piece of the story
always
missing.
It's all an act.
Every day.
Smiling through
tears.
Breathing
in and out.
It's all an act.
And yet
it's somehow
it's all
real.
The Jewish month of Elul, which precedes the High Holy Days, is traditionally a time of renewal and reflection. It offers a chance for spiritual preparation for the Days of Awe. It is traditional to begin one’s preparation for the High Holy Days during this month with prayers of forgiveness, but I like to think of it as a whole-person preparation activity. We look to begin the year with a clean slate, starting anew, refreshed. All month, along with others, I'll be blogging a thought or two for each day to help with the month of preparation... I will be blogging here, and sharing #Elulgram photos on the same themes at imabima.tumblr.com and on Instagram @imabima. Follow me on twitter @imabima for all the #BlogElul posts, not only mine but others' as well! Read more about #BlogElul here.
