Nothing much too say here. Ari's feeling better and napping, Audrey's off at work. Coffee is brewing. I need to pay bills today and that's about it.


A LAMENTATION

Awake.

Your youth is passing like smoke.
In the morning you are vital
a lily swaying
but before the evening is over,
you will be nothing but dead grass.

Why struggle over who in your family
may have come from Abraham?
Its a waste of breath.

Whether you feed on herbs
or Bashan rams
you, wretched man,
are already on your way into the earth.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

I had typed it in Hebrew, but this site won't recognize that alphabet. Go figure.
