It occurred to her as she awoke on this rainy 'pre YOM TOV' morning...

that FINALLY....FINALLY....
she was headed in a 'favorable' direction....
Well...
'Favorable', actually,
 would've been too innocuous a word to truly encapsulate the essence of the direction ...
Perhaps ETHEREAL....
No....No....Way too ANGELIC and ARROGANT ....
She was headed in a direction of  'HONOUR'...
Yes...
Honour and Beauty...
Not the superficial kind of beauty ....
But REAL BEAUTY....
inner tranquility....mysticism....LOVE....
 She missed her Father, (Zichrono Livracha), so much during this High Holiday season....
Do Jews call  it a SEASON ???
Hmmm...
Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) DID !
Right ??
In any case, He had been a TRUE man of GOD......(Her Dad, NOT Kohelet!)
Well....Kohelet too....LOL
Her father had so embodied that faith....that pure belief....
And so...
Enough meandering for one morning....
Her mind was CLEARLY 'all over the place' !!
She'd have to harness all those scattering thoughts LATER......
and off she went....
UMBRELLA in hand......
