A Soulful Journey

Groucho Marx used to say that he was so busy reviewing books that he didn’t have time to read them.   –Rabbi Louis Jacobs Is this you?  Slow down.

“Slow me down, Lord, I am going too fast, I can’t see my brother when he’s walking past. I miss a lot of good things day by day; I don’t know a blessing when it comes my way… Slow me down, Lord, so I can talk With some of your angels – Slow me down to a walk.” - author unknown, found by Rabbi Gilbert Rosenthal

A rebbe once stopped a hasid that was hurrying through the street at break-neck speed. "Where are you running?" he asked the hasid. The hasid answered, "I am running after life!"  The rebbe called to him as he ran off, "How do you know you have not passed it by?" It is time to think and reflect so life does not pass us by.
