shabbat is here

SHABBAT IS HERE! WE ARE THE KEEPERS OF SHABBAT BUT SHABBAT KEEPS US TOO. THIS IS OUR MOST SPIRITUAL SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP. SHABBAT IS THE BRAZIL NUT TO OUR RED-RUMPED AGOUTI. WE GATHER OUR BOTTLES OF WINE, OUR CANDLES, OUR FRIENDS, OUR SPICES AND WE KEEP SHABBAT. THERE WILL BE A DAY, MAYBE EVEN THIS DAY, WHERE YOU WOKE UP TIRED AND YOU DRAGGED YOURSELF TO THE FINISH LINE. AND WHEN YOU GET HOME YOU WILL SEE ALL THE EXTRA BOTTLES OF WINE, ALL THE GREETINGS FROM THE FRIENDS THAT YOU HAVE GATHERED, ALL THE LONGING AND JOY THAT YOU HAVE CULTIVATED FOR OTHERS AND FOR SHABBAT AND YOU WILL REALIZE THAT SHABBAT HAS REMEMBERED YOU AND KEPT YOU TODAY. SHABBAT DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ONE WAY STREETS. NOT WHILE DRIVING AND NOT IN RELATIONSHIPS. I LOVE SHABBAT AND I LOVE YOU.
