It is yet again time to atone for sins. And to fast. And to think about life. This last several months has been so busy for me that I haven't really been able to slow down enough for the high holidays, but as I have sat around a number of different tables with various members of my community, I have definitely had time to think about the things that are good in my life. I think this election season has unleashed a lot of behavior that leaves a lot to be desired. I am not at all sure that those folks are seeking atonement, mores the pity. As is so often the case, those that need it most are least likely to seek it. I myself am working on my own foibles, and in the absence of making big changes, at least trying to down size my life to what I think are important elements of it. That, and trying to get to November 8th without losing the friends that I share values with.
