When upside-down is right side up
I would recall the bare beauty of the tree, and wonder again why G-d
had left the tree upside-down. What could an inverted tree possibly contribute
to the world?

The birth of our son
Exhausted and breathless, I couldn't sing anymore. But I didn't
have to; the first cry of the baby as he emerged into the world was a

Counting the Omer
How can I expect to be forgiven if I have not extended the same
grace to others, if I have not demonstrated with my daily behavior that

Sefirat Ha'omer, Part VII
It's in the place we resist that we touch our purpose. Right
there, in the "lowest" dimension of the soul, we gain access to its
highest point. More importantly, it's through this "lowest" of soul
powers that we get done what we're here to do in the first place. Jews
do not eschew the mundane. We celebrate matter and even - or rather
particularly - the lowest dimensions of who we are.
