I hope you know it was never to you...
I will make it all up to thee...
{Bird on a Wire -- Leonard Cohen}
Tonight begins Yom Kippur.
One of the holiest days on the Jewish calendar.
A day meant to begin the year fresh.
A clean slate.
A clear conscious.
I used to struggle with this somber day.
In recent years, I've taken this day to really look inward.
Not to fear I haven't been worthy of "being inscribed in the Book of Life" but to find a way to give myself new life.
To release myself from things that have help me back. To release myself from vows and bonds that subconsciously held me back.
This year, I am trying to work very hard on letting the little things go.
To release the doubt that often creeps in.
To release the doubt that often creeps in.
I am not perfect. Others aren't perfect.
I can't control the little things.
Trying to takes away some of the joy from life.
Embracing the imperfections can only help me grow.
May this day be meaningful and the start of a chapter of growth in all our books.
