so many memories and so many moments to reflect on. i shall share just a few here.
longing to connect with people i hadn't seen in days, months...that first hug
new faces, instant acceptance, sincere eye contact
standing room only rockin ma'ariv
blessings to give and receive, in the form of a song, a wink, a smile
circling around the buildings, skipping over and around canada goose poop
jamming and singing, drumming and dancing
a moonlit hike to a field of milkweed...too bright to look up
wandering with teens after 'scream and run'
sababa! is this a five foot ash?
meal to meal, up ramps and down stairs
gang for a day: 'rhymes with orange'
late night puff in an outdoor amphitheatre opens the circle
up before dawn to hike in the rain to a mountain peak that showed us where we came from
slippery rocks, sweet blueberries, moments of prayer
havurah moss, rock tripe, FBI's and leaf funerals
plenty of time to twist spirals into bracelets and rope
spinning worm torah into something meaningful
dancing for hours straight on less than no sleep
reviving the cowboy song
embraced my second soul on shabbat
tore myself away from singing on high, to catch a bissle of rest
awoke to rooftop style in a chapel
stood witness to my students passing on group games, survival skills, tree identification...
the final wandering as the moon waned; yet a stronger spirit in each step
a moment of precious sleep before i was sharing final hugs and being boston bound
