Alarms and Helicopters

Big City Living!  Many people I know say they are tired of hearing the helicopters, there is an alarm at a nearby store that has been going off in the middle of the night a few times a week.  I cannot imagine living anywhere else, I like the pros of the big city and they outweigh the cons.  Since 8am there has been a helicopter circling really low around our block, and now there are police cars down the street, I have no idea what is happening, I am not scared, but I do not want my kids to go outside.

It makes me think of war zones where it is not even comparable, but children grow up knowing rockets and alarms, destruction, and extremists that are targeting their nations.  In our own back yard in Ferguson there are riots, I cannot even imagine the rage and destruction that has exploded there and the antisemitic attacks all over the world destroying businesses and synagogues.

People in Israel live with this reality, and the amazing thing is that it feels peaceful, they trust that they are protected from the heavens above and from the Israeli Defense Forces.  I have been to Israel four times, I have always felt safe, protected, and most of all the Jewish philosophy of living each day to the fullest.  This is a concept I teach in Yoga as well, be present, connect to your breath, and having gratitude of what is positive in our lives.

All we can do is our best,
All we can do is be ourselves,
Enjoy your family, friends, and community,
Be Kind,
Be of Service,
Share Your Gifts With The World.
