As Your Eyes Are Filled With Wonder

Share it

As your eyes are filled with wonder when you gaze at the world, so, too, may you be filled with wonder at the everyday miracles of life.
As you startle to the world around you, so may you remain ever open both to the happiness and to the pain of those you encounter in the world.
As you cry for food and comfort now, so may you one day cry out to correct the injustices of the world, to help clothe the naked and feed the hungry.
As your hand tightly grasps your mother’s finger, so may you grasp hold of learning and grow in knowledge and wisdom.
-Debra Nussbaum Cohen

Why make an account?

Because why use any of your precious brain cells to remember where you kept those great readings that you’ll use someday at Jeffrey’s B Mitzvah? Make an account, keep the readings there. Easy peasy. The only thing you’ll need to remember is your password, and from personal experience that’s hard enough.
