TWIST OF FATE
You never know what tomorrow will bring ?
Whether your number is up or down,
What your number will be,
Whether it will land on a smooth or sharp surface,
In the rain or in sunshine ..
And so the bottom line ..
We should live in the moment?
And be aware of our gifts?
Easier said than done of course
The 5+ 4 = 9 = 1/2 18
= half chai
= one half of life
= ie there is more to the story than just living in the moment
Not sure what that may be though but will try to work it out while on the dog walk Inspired by conversation with cousin Steven Isaacson. and his family at a reunion last night after more than twenty year hiatus Found this dice on a dOG wAlk and it had this profound lesson to teach

CANDLES IN THE WIND
From the Series – “Art of the Clouds”
and dedication to Marilyn Monroe by Elton John -about the delicate soul and hidden pain
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

ANNUAL RINGS OF THE YEAR
Seasons come and go, mixed with pleasures, displeasures, anger, romance, anxiety, jealousies, fears, joys, loss, gain, laughs, cries, snow, sun, warm cold- It is all in there in the circle of a year ? taking us away from the essence

AND THEN I HEARD THE BLASTS OF THE SHOFAR AND NOW I?M ALL SHOOK UP
Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay SOUNDS OF THE SHOFAR Tekiah, Shevarim, Teruah THESE ARE REFLECTED IN SHELL FORM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SHOFAR TEKIAH,Single shell- the ?blast,? one long blast with a clear tone. SHEVARIM, Three curved shells ? a ?broken,? sighing sound of three short calls. TERUAH ? 9 SMALL SHELLS the ?alarm,? a rapid series of nine or more very short notes. TEKIAH GEDOLLAH ? Rams horn ? ?the great Tekiah,? a single unbroken blast, held as long as possible. (A combination of Tekiah, Shevarim, Teruah, ending with a Tekiah Gedolah.) ? Awake, sleepers from your sleep! Arise, slumberers, from your slumber! Scrutinize your deeds and return to repentance and remember your creator! Those forgetters of the truth in the vanities of time and those who stray all their year in vanity and emptiness which can neither help nor save. Look to your souls, better your ways and deeds. Let each one of you abandon your evil way and your thoughts which are not good.? ?The shofar symbolizes the major theme of the Days of Repentance, during which we commemorate the beginning of the world. We try to make a new start within ourselves, and to return to the beginning of the cycle. The shofar, with its powerful and profound calls, removes the obstacles before us and helps us reach this new start.? What did Elvis say about this? I?M ALL SHOOK UP Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, yay A well?a bless my soul What?sa wrong with me? I?m itchin? like a man in a fuzzy tree My friends say I?m actin? wild as a bug I?m all shook up Mm mm mm, mm, yay, yay, ya

INTROSPECTION, DECISION AND ACTION
Throw away the rocks in your backpack that hold you down and keep the stuff that helps you move forward and upward
From the Rosha Hashana series
AKA Know (what) to hold and (what) to fold (Kenny Rogers-kinda)
