Rabbi Tsurah August, a wonderful Renewal rabbi here in Seattle, sends this quote with her wishes for a sweet and good new year:
A PERSON REACHES IN THREE DIRECTIONS
A person reaches in three directions:
Inward, to oneself
Up, to the Eternal
Out, to others
The miracle of life
Is that in truly reaching
in any one direction,
one embraces all three.
by Hassidic master Rebbe Nachman of Bratzlov
