I'm sorry I've taken so long.
That's my six-word memoir.
There is very little going on. It's very nearly Christamas and I wish my very few readers a very happy holiday.
In case you didn't know it, I'm a confirmed Roman Catholic. I live in an area of New York where alot of kids are the same religion. But in my really tight group of friends, I'm the only one. I have a Muslim friend, a Reform Jewish friend, and a Conservative jewish friend. out of repesct for them with a topic like religion that can get picky, stereotyped and offensive. But I guarantee they will be mentioned.
I spent the night at one of my friends house on Friday. I got to help her light the candles on the menorah, and I went to the service for the last night of Hannukah, which was coincidentally on the Sabbath...
It was lovely. So, if you've never been to that kind of service, i reccommend going to one. It's hard to follow along, though. The service is sung and in Hebrew.
And I kicked her butt at dreidel. WOOT WOOT
Just remember, keeping an open mind is the best thing we can do. War is the fear that is born with prejudice. We can help certain emotions. We just need a hand to hold.
And if someone isn't willing to hold your hand when you need them, then you two have nothing besides false trust. I've learned you can only trust people after they have passed your test. and you know it when they do.
I'm totally being inspired by that Phil collins song, "You'll Be In My Heart." The one from Tarzan. You'd know it if you heard it.
I'm going to leave us off on one more quote. "Fear is the heart of love." Death Cab For Cutie, I Will Follow You Into The Dark
