Dear all,
I saw a reflection of myself in my daughter the other day. It made me think deeply about what it must be like to see the world through the eyes of a baby. There is so much, so much we take for granted on a daily basis, and we often lose sight of the miracles that are occurring at each and every moment in time.
We have a sacred opportunity each day to not just look at the world, but to see it.
What will I see today?
A cloud formation?
A dog wagging its tail?
The note on the homeless person’s sign?
The smile of a neighbor?
The ballot I need to fill out?
The perspective of someone that I don’t usually see eye to eye with?
See it. Absorb it. And make a difference!
With love and shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
