Interesting about the pocket as the symbolic container - I love when this happens, as it often does - I just wrote a poem where a demon someone is haunted by which drives their behavior is carried around in the threadbare pockets of their filthy trench coat so they need to lose the coat and get some new and cleaner pockets. For me, because the poem is about someone I love and I realize now because of this week’s Shabbat Drop, though it is difficult, I need to lighten up on how I view forgiveness (a facade that entraps us forever - I know dark right!) - so just lighten up girl, life is shorter than you even think.

I unknowingly brought Covid to my loving family over Thanksgiving.

I need to lighten my quilt mode.

But it was worth it because the pumpkin chocolate marble cheesecake was delish and your company brought the sweetness of light to our home. And I like that you are feeling quilty vs. guilty so you are already lightening up.
