Dear friends,
As I am composing my thoughts, I am listening to the rain, drip, drip, drip. We are so blessed to have rainfall, even as we may need to rearrange ourselves as we try to have outdoor visits. We know that without adequate rain, much vegetation around us will suffer. What is the geshem, the rainfall, that we our souls need to thrive, to not wither? For many, if not most of us, we need the steady drip of human connection, of everything from hugs with our dear friends, to dinner parties, to hosting parties for our children. We have had to reinvent ways to stay connected. Zoom is one platform but there are others to explore. Building bubbles may feel tenuous, but bubbles also have tensile strength. Here is a fun experiment. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bring-science-home-best-bubbles/
