Dear Family, Shabbat shalom! I thought I’d do something a little different for my OGT. I usually rely on Dad for the Jewish didactics, but this time I wanted to give you a heads up about, yes, yet another Jewish holiday.
Personal Writings
Lying Still
Lying still in late morning
A jaybird shrieks
through the courtyard.
The tinkling of windchines
overhead.
Fall
Johanna Shapiro, PhD
A dying leaf falls
No! A yellow butterfly,
it flutters, then soars

God bless this mis-happen fish;
And warn his foster brother
Not to be so wild.
Amen.
(Barbados – 1957?)
