SHABBAT IS HERE! SHABBAT IS THE WEEKLY ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREATEST FEAT EVER! THE FEAT THAT WE ALL EXIST ON THIS GIANT ROCK HURTLING THROUGH SPACE AND TIME AND WE ARE ABLE TO APPRECIATE THE FACT (OR RESENT IT). NOW IS THE TIME TO BE OPEN TO THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF THE UNIVERSE LIKE WHITE TRUFFLES WITH LEMON CURD THAT LOOK LIKE DEVILED EGGS OR A TWO STATE SOLUTION. REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY, CAPABLE OF REMARKABLE FEATS, SOME OF WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED AND SOME OF WHICH YOU WILL ACHIEVE. SHABBAT IS HERE TO REMIND YOU OF YOUR POTENTIAL BUT ALSO GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE. PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK. PAT YOUR LOVED ONES ON THE BACK. BE GENTLE. YOU EXIST AND THAT'S NOT SO EASY! I LOVE SHABBAT AND I LOVE YOU.

SHABBAT IS HERE! SING YOUR HEART SONG TO YOUR NEIGHBOR'S CAT! FORCE YOUR LOVE ON YOUR NEPHEW! TRY NOT TO SLIP ON ALL THOSE PINK AND WHITE FLOWER PETALS THAT ARE BUILDING UP ON THE SIDEWALK. BRING A RAINCOAT. REJOICE AT THE PROSPECT OF SPRING, RENEWAL, AND IMMUNITY IN EXCHANGE FOR TESTIMONY! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE ON SHABBAT. HEALING. BRAINSTORMING. TEA. I CAN TELL THIS SHABBAT IS GOING TO BE THE BEST SHABBAT YET ONLY TIED WITH EVERY OTHER SHABBAT EVER. I LOVE SHABBAT AND I LOVE YOU!

Shabbat is here. A time to be with family. A time to hold your precious nephew close. A time to curl your sister's hair. A time to watch movies from your childhood. A time for Dairy Queen. Shabbat is finally here. A time to be grateful. A time to grow stronger for the next week. Shabbat shalom, everyone. Shabbat shalom.

note: this shabbat shout was written a week after i found out that my brother, peter, passed away. if you are processing a major loss at a young age, check out the dinner party a community of young folks grieving for parents, siblings, and friends.
