Diwali symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The word "Diwali" itself is derived from the Sanskrit word "Deepavali," where "Deepa" means lamp or light, and "avali" means a row.

Today I am taking sides.

by Rabbi Irwin Keller

I am taking the side of Peace.

Peace, which I will not abandon

even when its voice is drowned out

by hurt and hatred,

bitterness of loss,

cries of right and wrong.

I am taking the side of Peace

in this winnerless war.

I will hold Peace in my arms,

and share my body’s…

Friendships are important as friends help us along our way in life, some stay for a while and some stay for much longer, but each friendship has brought us something different that we learned or needed at the time. There are some that are deeper that we have had many lives together and they are soul family friendships, these are the most…

"Piglet?" said Pooh.

"Yes?" said Piglet.

"I'm scared," said Pooh.

For a moment, there was silence.

"Would you like to talk about it?" asked Piglet, when Pooh didn't appear to be saying anything further.

"I'm just so scared," blurted out Pooh.

"So anxious. Because I don't feel like things are…

Come you masters of war

You that build the big guns

You that build the death planes

You that build all the bombs

You that hide behind walls

Those with holes

instead of eyes

do not see.

They are blind.

Those with holes

instead of ears

do not hear.

They are deaf.

Emotionally numb

devoid of empathy

they are sleepwalking.

The walking dead.

Remember…

There are people who cannot say good-bye

They are born this way, this is how they die

They are the keepers of promises, what moves them does not wear out

Their loyalty will tear apart your clocks

These are the people who can hear the music in songs

They are the Vow carriers

The grandmothers who always leave the…

Each one of us is alone in the world. It takes great courage to meet the full force of your aloneness. Most of the activity in society is subconsciously designed to quell the voice crying in the wilderness within you. The mystic Thomas a Kempis said that when you go out into the world, you return having lost some of yourself. Until you learn…

CLOSING CYCLES: 2022

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.

Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters…

"I love science.

I also love the concept of magic.

I don't find that these ideas conflict.

Fact and magic go together like sound and song,

like ink and poetry,

like truth and metaphor.

A good metaphor does not destroy the truth.

It brings it home to a human context.

For me, magic is about…

Chanukah 1932:

"It was on a Friday afternoon right before Shabbat that this photo was taken. My grandmother realized that this was a historic photo, and she wrote on the back of the photo that ‘their flag wishes to see the death of Judah, but Judah will always survive, and our light will outlast their flag.’

“He drew a circle that shut me out. Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle and took him in!” From the poem “Outwitted” by Edwin Markham.

Every family has its stories. My family’s stories contain a fairy tale. There are no magic beans,…

The level of culture

On the spiritual and cultural level, traditional matriarchal societies do not have religions based on a God who is invisible, untouchable, and incomprehensible -- but omnipotent -- and in contrast to whom the world is devalued as “dead matter”. In matriarchy, divinity is immanent, for the whole world is…

Solitude is a condition of peace that stands in direct opposition to loneliness. Loneliness is like sitting in an empty room and being aware of the space around you. It is a condition of seperateness. Solitude is becoming one with the space around you. It is a condition of union. Lonliness is small, solitude is large. Lonliness closes in around you; solitude expands toward the infinite. Lonliness has its roots in words, in an internal conversation that nodbody answers; solitude has it's…
