A Moment in Time: “How Long is NOW?”

If now is awesome, how do we hold on to it? And if now is unbearable, how do we turn the page?

Dear all,

Ron and I came across a sign this week that read: “How Long Is Now?”

The question really spoke to us.

Is now three seconds? Is it ten seconds? Is it today? Is it our lifetime?

Sometimes now can seem like a fleeting moment in time. Sometimes now can feel like an eternity.

If now is awesome, how do we hold on to it? And if now is unbearable, how do we turn the page?

I suppose I can answer the question with a question. How long is now?

Quoting Rabbi Hillel: “If not now, when?”

With love and Shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
