The Off to College Moon

Sunday gratefuls: Tom. Bill. Ode. What we were when we were young. B.J. and Sarah. Kate, always Kate. Her 80th birthday. Today. Life as it has happened. My son. Seoah. Murdoch. Songtan. 106 degree heat index days. Warm nights. Goose bumps on my arms this morning from the chill. Rabbi Jamie. Veronica. Luke. Leo. Great Sol. This August 18th life, 2024.

Sparks of Joy and Awe: Ruth, excited for college. Moving into the dorm on Tuesday

Kavanah: Serenity  Menucha
