Hi Ken Karpel! nice to see you!

Knee

Wonderful blessing! Thank you!

Julia, that was so kind, for those of us who don’t have human children to interpret children alternately as our creativity.

Good afternoon from Europe lol

Is it possible to create small study groups?

Sarah, I feel that strongly- there are many ways to be fruitful in this world!

Lachmann-I hate auto-correct!

Sounds heavenly to be distanced from “…national Tumults Kibitizers fashionable Memes.”

“Rebelling for the sake of rebellion” is all too easy.

I remember when people said about Trump, “It’s just good to shake things up.”

I think it would be fine to mix in some French.

(And I don’t even know French)

Sorry for not commenting properly today; I just suddenly feel very tired, but I still appreciate your poems.

Darina, We at Todeph

Darina, We at Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia, thought your poem was so beautiful and moving, we are using it for this week’s Shabbat Jewish meditation!

Love the word fulfilled and all that it conjures up

Wow, Ellen, I'm honoured! :)

Fulfillment vs. oblivion. I’ll take fulfillment (at my best).

I love this one! It would make a great picture on my wall :)

Love the mirror idea.

Joining the chorus that loves the mirror idea :)

Angels as parents and children?

Very beautiful Megan.

Elona, Brava!

Loved your psalm, Megan,

How true, wonderful that you caught that spirit

I appreciated the consequences of the hubris of, “We are the best!"

grazie Donna!

Thank you, Megan. Love it.

Prego!

😘

Megan, beautiful! I loved it. thanks

Thank you all for your comments! So fun to write it and share it with you all :)

Fantastic!

Great capturing fear muted

Peter I really like the dystopian feel of this

Peter, that’s so Beautiful

I love the "palimpsests of your words"

Beautiful.

I love “This detritus burns the soul.” I think of detritus being burned typically, but it also can burn the soul if we let is dominate. I didn’t realize you had the geniza in mind with the final line. I prefer to keep my interpretation of the cautionary tale angle.

Peter this is so powerful!

*…if we let it dominate.

“roots not deep enough…”great image says so much to me

speaks to me, too!

I love the idea of yelling at the psalms since they so often seem like they’re narrator by people who themselves are howling/pining/kvetching

Agree with you Sarah ...

More fun that way, makes them alive and real

I love imagining the time we’re in as “transient weather” — or any time.

I love this

Thank you, Peter - this speaks so much to where I am right now and I find it very meaningful.

Simply said…love it.
