A Moment in Time: “Avoiding Collision”

Dear all,

We learned earlier this week about the discovery of three asteroids that are in “close proximity to earth.”  Nasa experts have assured us that the asteroid most likely to cross earth’s orbit will not endanger the earth at all.

I read this and thought about life. I thought about love and friendships, family and community.

What do we do when we fear we are on a collision course in our relationships?

How do we shift our trajectory?

What words or actions can minimize a potential impact?

Do we dig in our heels or do we show vulnerability?

There’s no easy answer.  And at any given moment in time, our thoughts may shift.  But at the end of the day, avoiding the collision allows us to embrace new possibilities while opening doors to a new beginning.

With love and Shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
