A Moment in Time: “The Soulprint of our Lives”

How will your soul, your time on earth, touch others?

Dear all,

Maya and Eli spent time over this past weekend painting. As I gazed at their (not so little anymore) handprints, I thought about all the incredible things their hands will do over the course of their lives.

Just as the works of our hands impact the world, we also have a profound opportunity to transform the world through the kindnesses of our souls.

I call this our “soulprint.”

How will your soul, your time on earth, touch others?

What words will you use, what love will you share, what spirit will you nurture?

Though our moment in time on earth is limited, our soulprint has eternal possibilities.

What difference is your soulprint making today that will reshape tomorrow?

Maya and Eli’s hands created quite the mess. But soap and water made it disappear. But the memory we created is imprinted in my soul forever!

With love and Shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
