It Had to Happen
Over the last few weeks, my chronic pain has kicked up significantly. After much thought, heartache, and a rehab attempt gone horribly wrong, I have started a new blog on my other Google account. It's called "Life in Pain, with Dignity"; the link is lifeinpainwithdignity.blogspot.com . If you want to communicate with me, COMMENT OVER THERE, as that is the blog I will be checking. See you soon!

"Approaching Yom Kippur"
Here is a poem I wrote in anticipation of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year. Its title is, naturally enough, "Approaching Yom Kippur."
"Approaching Yom Kippur"
To everyone I've injured,
I am sorry.
To the limping,
The wounded,
The maimed and the bleeding,
I'm sorry.
Kol Nidre.
Vidui.
U'N'taneh Tokef.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me?

About Me
- free_to_dream
- I am a bipolar, Jewish young adult (had my Hebrew birthday, the one I count, and turned 23 this past January) who also suffers from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. I love life and I live for my best friends: they are my purpose and my reason for trying so hard. I remain passionately devoted to those I love; I will not let my disorders make me totally self-centered. I like to read, write, and sew. My Rabbinical school plans did not work out, and I am now hoping to go into the field of Early Childhood Education. Please note: I am currently maintaining only Carried in His Hands. Enjoy!
