The Wind Whispers.. . ..

 The Wind Whispers. . . . 


Ruach whispers in my ear

“Find peace, my dear:  Ruhe


Ruach whispers in my heart

“Find yourself, I’ll be at your side”


Ruach whispers to my mouth

“Speak with grace and truth.”


Ruach whispers to my feet

"I will guide you on the right road."


Ruach is the balm, the calm that I need.

She guides me to turn aside pride, 

turn to others 

    hurting inside. 

She swirls around me wrapping me in energy

hugging me in hope.


Ruach fills me with the laughter of life

She energizes me to take a chance, 

to dance to my own music

She urges me to write—-

by lighting my path. 

She fanned the embers of memories, 

  and inspired me to find my own fire.


I’ve said farewell.  

I can now reach forward with 

Ruach’s wind at my back:

I can breathe again. I am alive.


I am comforted knowing Ruach 

will be with me

until the end of days. . . .

and beyond.

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
