Joy cannot be projected from a slingshot
It is like a spring that bubbles up inside us,
yearning to overflow into our mouths,
run past our lips, and come out of our breath
like little clouds we exhale our foggy mornings.

“Oh what a wonderful day it is to be alive
and in harmony with all of life,”
the frog announced as he took a deep breath of the crisp morning air.
He raised one arm over his head, then the other.

– Frog Smile

I see God smiling, sometimes cheering loudly
from his owner’s box in the stadium.
At other times he whispers softly to each runner,
glancing at his master plan on his lap,
tapping his feet to the great pulse of life that he created.

– We Carry The Torch

Anna stopped sobbing when she heard the song.
She saw the birds tremble,
and she was touched by their kind act.
A happy tear rolled down her furry face,
and she extended her paw to welcome them.

– Gift for a Panda

When I blow the shofar in services,
it feels like God is helping.
God’s breath comes through the shofar.
It is a warm breath that touches the hearts of all who hear it.

– Holding My Shofar In My Hands
