another year...

and life continues....
and parents,
those GIANTS of our lives,
SHRINK....
down to tiny creatures who depend
 FULLY upon us....
upside down goes the teeter totter of our memoire...
CHODESH ELUL
(the month of ELUL)
 is at the tip of our consciousness....
at the helm of our awareness....
""justice accounting""....
checks and balances....
""WHO SHALL LIVE AND WHO SHALL DIE ?"".....
daunting !!!!
fear and contemplation engulf us.....
have we been NAUGHTY OR NICE ???
and autumn has its colored claw on our precious,
 green trees....
yellow and brown are slowly sneaking into the landscape.....
the boots with the new heel are
NOW AVAILABLE in the window of everyone's
 favorite store....
the kids are off to school,
 groaning and moaning.....
the backpacks have begun,
ALREADY,
 carving
 their indelible etchings into the delicate, little, shoulder blades....
WHO SHALL LIVE AND WHO SHALL DIE ??
a new year is dawning.....
