“The present has no mercy for self-pity.
Every day is a chance to start over,
if you stop hiding behind yesterday.”

“Everyone has their own fate.
Another’s seems lighter.
But if G-d gives it to you — you’ll collapse beneath it.
Carry your own — to the end.”
Chaim Tal

“Your life is a mirror, reflecting your light.
Or your darkness.”

“The pillars of civilization easily become gallows
when man forgets why they were raised.”
Chaim Tal

“A foreign land is a desert
that will never replace the soil
your heart aches for,
where your memory lives,
where your ancestor’s rest.”

“If you hate — you give away your life.
You trade life for hatred.
You dwell where God is not.
If hatred dwells in you — God is not in you.”

Chaim Tal Currently Reading: "Meditation and Prayer at the Western Wall" by Chaim Tal

Re-reading my own guide tonight before bed.

Not to edit it — but to remember why I wrote it:
so many of us want to pray, want to be present, want that connection...
but we freeze because we don't know how to begin.

The practices in this book are simple. The intention is everything.

And right now, I'm also carrying its themes into "KARMIC RETRIBUTION" — exploring how individual stillness ripples into collective responsibility.

Two books. One question:
What does it mean to show up — for yourself, and for the world?
