Dear all,
As this squirrel scampered across the telephone wire, I wondered, “How on earth does it keep its balance?”
Then I remembered advice given to me when I attempted a high ropes course in my teen years: “Look to your goals. Look inside. Look around. But don’t look down,”
It’s an important lesson. Life in balance isn’t always about moving forward. But it is about having goals, being in touch with what is inside, and looking around for inspiration. When we stop doing that … when we look down, …. we fall (which is inevitable in life every once in a while).
What choices will we make this week? What new goals will we envision? Will we listen to what our heart is sharing from the inside? And will we take a moment in time to look around at the inspirations that surround us?
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
