sunrise, mirror lake - water fun -- The water river, lakes, falls.. all over Yosemite was too cold and I thought there wont be any major water adventure this time.. but there was.


Late Thursday afternoon I hiked around mirror lake.. it was getting late and I was too lazy to hike all around to the other side of the lake... at one point it looked like the water would be only up to my knees so I took off my shoes and rolled up my skirt.. and started walking across in the cold water.. but I miscalculated the depth..I was so off.. the water reached above my head and I had to swim with my backpack..., B"H I made to the other side.. all wet.. but safe.. and a pair of warm cloths and shelter wasn't too far away.. winter in yosemite tioga rd yay! camped out in a beautiful spot -- white flurries.. snowing all around... mono lake lee vining!

a sage welcome

what a great welcome-- sage!
While skating along venice beach the other day, I was imaging the scent of sage and was thinking that it would be nice to smell it.. and there was Yoni welcoming us with sage! How sweet. I love it when you do it G-d... please delight and surprise me! always!
thank you. thank you Yoni and Go Green!

great skate along the pacific...

Manhattan Beach -Marina del Ray - Venice- Santa Monica - lax
and of course swimming.. was so nice.

ca - just made it..

with the help of G-d's wonderful messengers..
7/11 ride-- it was four minutes to the last train for the airport.. I knew it was late but I didn't know it was that late.. and just then a cab stopped I took you once to cherry lane? I'm heading now to the train station.. do you need to get there? I got a train ticket, boarded and the train took off.

ובחנוני נא בזאת אמר ה' צבקות

אם לא אפתח לכם את ארובות השמים והריקתי לכם ברכה עד בלי די

ישועת ה' כהרף עין

and then everything opened up.. (aapl, lax)
thank you Hashem!
May the flow of blessings be unending.

sabra

The sabra cacti in all their magnificent splendor are beginning to flower showing us how exquisite beauty (emuna) blossoms particularly in an environment of dangerous thorns (the trials and tribulations of this world) . (lazerbeams)

May we see very soon the most beautiful blossoming of our redemption
את צמח דוד עבדך מהרה תצמיח
כי לישועתך קוינו כל היום
ומצפים לישועה

בא"ה מצמיח קרן ישועה

שפכי כמים לבך נכח פני ה

splitting of the sea May we witness it soon BBA.

May the bitter waters turn into the sweetest refreshing waters -- as read in the Kriyah and Haftorah that day שביעי של פסח and אחרון של פסח

ויבא מרתה ולא יכלו לשתות מים כי מרים הם ויצעק אל ה'
ויורהו ה' עץ וישלך אל המים
וימתקו המים

וידבר דוד לה' את דברי השירה הזאת ביום הציל ה' אותו...ישלח ממרום יקחני ימשני ממים רבים

והחרים ה' את לשון ים מצרים והניף ידו על הנהר בעים רוחו והכהו לשבעה נחלים והדריך בנעלים והיתה מסילה לשאר עמו
ואמרת ביום הוא אודך ה' כי אנפת כי ישב אפך ותנחמני... ושאבתם מים בששון ממעיני הישועה
ואמרתם ביום ההוא הודו לה' קראו בשמו... צהלי ורני יושבת ציון כי גדול בקרבך קדוש ישראל

May all our tears be transformed to tears of joy!
