Laundry is a Colorful Cleaning Affair
Some nice refreshing laundry detergent is just what's needed.
When the detergent comes in big, bright bottles like here, then it's even a more inviting experience.
Clean laundry, clean mind, clean mouth way to go! ;-)

Rain From Heaven
It is the first time that I was actually able to see the rain almost in a slow motion.
They weren't drops, but literally streaks of water zipping down from the sky.
The feeling was so pure and refreshing to clean the air and the ground.
To replenish our reservoirs, ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
To nourish the fruit of the Earth and make it grow.
We use up and make dirty, but G-d replenishes and makes clean! ;-)

What's With The Water
I have been remembering from the other day when I was in the pool, but I had a very different experience from usual.
Yes, I was swimming hard and disciplined doing my laps.
But my mind decided to focus on the water.
Just the water...nothing else.
I literally blanked out the world around me...no pool, no exercise, no other people, no current events, no random thoughts.
I just put all my senses unto the water itself.
The cool softness of the water as it glided over my hands and body.
The subtle resistance of the water, yet the buoyancy it provided.
The waves and current as the water flowed around my body moving crisply through it.
The healing purity of the water physically and spiritually.
I imagined the clearest and cleanest water, and how it quenches our thirst and washes everything in the world clean again.
Water, earth, wind and fire...the wisdom and perfection of them and us cannot possibly be random events, but they are testament to the genius of our Creator.
Thank you G-d especially for the water in the time, place, and amount that is for a blessing--and as a series of strong hurricanes continue to roar towards your people, let it be merciful.

Make The Oy Vey Go Away
This amazing beautiful flower.
Made by G-d Almighty.
See the perfection of the geometry and the shape that springs forth from mother earth.
Open your eyes to the magnificence and brightness of the colors.
Feel in your mind's eye the soft texture of the petals and droplets.
Breath in the smell of freshness and new air into your expanding lungs.
Yes, whatever ails you...
Make this for yourself a renewal of spirit and of flesh. ;-)

Water Cross
The water was on and it was almost like a really high-speed jet jacuzzi.
The cool water was rushing at me and splashing in my face and it was a nice moment of relaxation and feeling of life.
For those who have been to the mikvah, it felt refreshing and like a renewal of spirit.
Just in jest...when I look at this, I can't help noticing that it almost looks like Jesus on the cross.
Except, thank G-d no nails, torture, or Roman Legion involved in this. ;-)

Golden Retriever Swims Like A Fish
Out on the kayak today with Rebecca in Maryland.
This beautiful golden retriever named Rudder was playing on the bank and in the water.
He was swimming and chasing a toy that the friendly owners were throwing way out into the pond.
On this hot sunny day, this dog was having a blast, and the people seemed to enjoy talking with us about him.
Overall this was a welcome break from the Dog Days of Summer. ;-)

Iced Pool BUT Hot Tub
These folks on the left are in the outdoor steaming hot tub.
However, see the pool next to them on the right--it's nearly completely frozen over (and it would be except for a fireplace at the other end of the pool deck)!
The temperature outside a frosty 19 degrees fahrenheit.
Yes, for those who know me...I keep the air conditioner on in the Winter (true).
But even I didn't bare it all in Santa Fe in December--at least not yet! ;-)
