A Moment in Time: “The Impact of Your Soul-Print”

Dear all,

The kids wanted to paint this week. So we put dabs of colored paint on plates and gave them brushes. Both ignored the brushes and mixed the paint with their hands.

Dripping everywhere, they did manage to get some paint onto the canvass.

I looked carefully at Eli’s impression. And in that moment in time, it made me think.

Everything we touch makes an impact.

What impression will our soul-print leave in this world? How will our time on earth make a difference? Are we stopping to absorb the small wonders that surround us?

As I cleaned the paint spills from the floor (and from the chairs and from the table and from the ….), I couldn’t help but smile. I even left one drop of paint as a reminder of just how awesome life is.

With love and shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
