Kol Nidre – All Vows

My recent posts...kol nidrei, all MY vows? Rabbi Jonathan Kremer kol nidrei, all vows. ALL vows? All my vows? How can I possibly remember them all? Those silent frustrations: I swear I could... I said what? Well, I didn't mean it that way! The thick-as-mud silent...

Too Late So Early

Too Late So Early | 6 July 2022
a song of our times:

Gets too late so damn early these days.
We’re slogging through thick purple haze
that obscures and confuses, everyone loses.
Gets too late so damn early these days.

Gets too late so damn early these days.
Hope our kids keep their innocence phase;
But the news is so loud, can’t hide in the cloud.
Gets too late so damn early these days.

Late for joy, late for laughter, for life,
Late for those killed by bullet, by knife.
We climb out of the dark, raise our heads, strike a spark,
Build a place to be safe from the strife.

Gets too late so damn early these days.
Make it better together — there’s ways
We can be the new dawn, before it’s all gone.
Gets too late so damn early these days.
