Shells

I'm afraid that with Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur coming up very soon (eep!) I'm going to have to take two weeks off from Radiance. I hope that you will forgive me, and will join me for the next chapter on October 1st (or more likely the 3rd after Sukkot).

In the mean time, I offer a short poem that I wrote some time ago, and I expect to put up another such offering next week.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy, healthy and sweet new year! May you be inscribed in the book of life for a life of peace.

Shells
We dance upon a plane of ice
A skin across a vat of blood.
How brittle is this skin of self,
How thin the ice we tread;
A crack - and all that was white
Is red.
