Parsha VaYetzei: My Karma Ran Over Your Dogma

Sometimes the hardest part of life is simply making sense of it.  Why did my day go like that?  Why did such an unfortunate thing happen to someone so kind?  Why is there so much conflict in the world?  When will there finally be peace?

Sometimes it's hard to face our humanity.  Why can't I always get things perfect?  Why do I sometimes hurt someone that I love?  Why do I sometimes hurt myself?

The amazing thing is that nearly everyone in the world wishes for things to get better and better; and nearly everyone in the world wonders what he or she can do about it.  Can one person's private actions really make a difference?  Do we every really know the power of the kind things that we do?

May we all be blessed to cast loving stones into the pool of life, and spread rings of meaning to all those in the wake of those choices.

With Love and a Smile,

~Shu
