Celestial Threads

The Jewish prayer shawl has specially twined blue threads at its edges, called tzitzit, to remind those praying of Heaven...

Each new day has possibilities of terror and discovery...and of course, for confirming what we we already need to be true of the world, even at the cost of boredom and constriction.

I'm working on seeing failures as partial successes. Put another way, aspiration is a good thing as long as it does not get made into a stick to spank yourself with. Oh, maybe I'm just getting too frickin old to be a pessimist.*

I am thrilled because I have socks to darn...this is among the projects in which success is guaranteed, we all need a few of those on the list, I believe.

Any thoughts?

* On reflection, I think this paragraph was inspired by this post on l'astronave.
