this year





this year we are slaves
..next year we will be free
this year we are here
..next year in the land of Israel
Why is this night different?
..why do we eat matzah
eat maror..dip twicerecline
?
why? why? WHY?

next year...
..there will be no questions
no expectations
..to befuddle
no nature..to contrast
miraculous

next year we will be free
..and nothing will
ever be
different
this year we are slaves
to...expectations

But our expectations are what makes us free... because without them, we would be slaves to ourselves and have no hope for the Ultimate freedom...

Happy Pesach.

All I expect is for the seder not to take to long, Pessach or not we need our sleep :)
