Let my eyes see good
During a conflict with someone close to me last night, a little prayer came to me. I closed my eyes and said:
Hash-m, let my eyes see good when I open them, so that I can deal with this situation positively.
It worked wonders.
I will be saying this prayer many situations now, since it seems so apt to help keep a positive and creative attitude.
Hash-m, let my eyes see good…

Sin of Idolatry
You know, I think of idolatry as a sin not in as a “wrongdoing,” but maybe more as having a mistaken understanding of the way things work.
I think of it as Hash-m is an ultimate power, and all else is of lesser strength–so when we grasp at a straw, or a string or even a rope, it is never as strong as our trusting above all in Hash-m, and when we grasp at something lesser, it always has the possibility of breaking.
That is the freedom and correctness of not being “idolotrous” in any way.
We idolize our relationships (oh, if only he/she liked me)
We idolize material things (if I had this car/house/etc I could be happy and at peace)
All this can be taken away. Only inner peace survives–and inner peace exists when we are in concurrence with Hash-m’s rules of operation. I don’t pretend to understand all of the rules yet, most likely not ever, but I do feel that searching for them and acting upon them is the surest way to true joy.
