hey kids i took a break from nyc, cooking and the usual biz, to run outa town
perfect timing as this week
between rosh hashanah and yom kippur
is the days of awe
as we of the 12 tribes call it
and what better time to have a souful retreat
so i'm out here with the seagulls on cape cod once again
only it's my first september on the cape in many years
and oh dears i must say
it is just so lovely
still warm enough to sit on the beach
with a light jacket
the restaurants are still open
far, far less people
far, far more tranquility
i was invited to a bonfire on the beach
by the divine s and d
and i must say
damn that was fun
all night long while chomping on extra crispy hebrew national 97% fat free hot dogs
i felt a funny tingling in my solar plexus
is it gas?? i wondered
is it bronchitis??
no
dears
in fact it was joy
yep
joy
and it occurs to me how rarely
in life we simply sit with a full blast of JOY
so in the days of awe
i have decided to try and remember
to take time out
no matter how busy
to find, feel and embrace joy and to share it with as many as i can
because without joy
what's the point
feel the joy my dears
and please.. pass it on
