Often Impossible

When I need to write in order to reconvene my soul ~

 I often find it impossible.

When I need to pray in order to soothe the rough edges of the day ~

 I often find it impossible.

When I need to exercise to stretch my tight and sore muscles ~

 I often find it impossible.

When I need to communicate with friends and family on very important issues ~

 I often find it impossible.

When I'm virtually paralyzed by all that's going on around me

this verse from

 The Talmud gives me hope and peace ~

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief.

Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now.

You are not obligated to complete the work, but

neither are you free to abandon it.
