A Moment in Time: Three Thoughts for Today

[additional-authors]
February 28, 2019
Dear all,
Most people can’t stand flying. For me, it is my happy place (well – next to being with Ron!)
When I fly, my mind expands, and the abyss that usually separates heaven and earth unifies into seemless beauty.
That’s when I become aware of the most essential values. And those values often transform into life lessons. Here is what I realized on my last flight:
  1. Be grateful for what you have
  2. Be clear about what you need
  3. Be thoughtful about what you give
Can I do one of these each day? Two? All three? It will take a moment in time to descend and ground myself in order to pursue any of them. And I hope, really hope, I can achieve all three!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
