Chanukah for the ages..in the ages..
Going to say farewell to Chanukah with another dawn shot of the lake..this one from yesterday..and a poem from last year..
Lying on the grass on a warm spring night
Sky so black
Stars so bright
gazing up..
losing myself
Distance..
Time..
Barriers no more...
The twinkling lights I see are from years past
from millions of miles away
Everything meets in a gaze..
My gaze
Sitting by my Menorah in the darkened room
Sky so black
Flames so bright
losing myself
Distance..
Time..
Barriers no more..
These twinkling lights are from years past
and glorious days to come
These lights are from thousands of miles away..
from a special place..
Everything comes together in my gaze..
Everything comes together..
On Chanukah

that first picture - wow
looks like it was taken in africa or some exotic place.. not lakewood :)
you are SO talented.
Awesome first pic. Enjoy the rest of Chanukah.
I think both pics are really pretty. Have a great shabbos and hope you had a happy chanukah.
more pictures?? LOL very pretty. Also whats with the "Lying on the grass on a warm spring night"
I dont really associate channukah with a spring day.
thanks for another beatiful poem.
Gorgeous pic of the lake. You really ARE "on" the lake, aren't you? You couldn't enjoy the lake any more than you do, even if you were IN it.
As for the gist of your poem, I find that tradition and customs are really what connect us to our predecessors, and the kesher is what Judaism is all about. Using the past to prepare for the future.
Your words!
I love your words!
anonym00kie...
Lakewoods pretty exotic y'know?
swfm..
thanks..you too
sara...
thanks..hope urs was nice
chaverah...
doesnt it feel like spring to you..?
itsallgood...
if I were in it..I'd be a fish..and I wouldnt be blogging..lol
this post is specifically..about the the fact that the ohr hagonuz...the first light..and the light that was in the beis hamikdosh.and the light that will be at the geulah is visible in the menorah..
and its not such a difficult concept to understand...since u can go out look at the sky and see lights from so many light years ago...right now..
kasamba..
Thanks..
very true David, quite warm for this time of year!
