Me and the Crickets



The crickets outside are alive, screaming - bubbling with excitement.

It's as if they know how I feel.

My brothers words ring in my ears.

My plane was about to take off from Seattle.

He said, "It all starts now Mim. Every step you take, every breathe...It's all part of your Shlichus."

When my plane landed, all I could do was smile.

My touchdown was really a takeoff.

And I just had to smile at that.

This morning, I went jogging around my new neighborhood.

My brother was right.

Indeed, no step is the same.

This is all really amazing.

And I feel like the crickets here in Narberth Pennsylvania agree.

If you've got time, go to the King of Prussia Mall. Once went there for Channukah and we gave out something like 30 Menorahs to all the young Israelis manning the booths. Tons of Mivtzoim and a huge/beautiful mall.
