Any Moment
In every point of time, all of time is there.
After all, at every moment, as the previous moment and all its history is cancelled into naught,
He must regenerates the entire cosmos anew out of the void.
And so He must renew along with this moment all of its past and all of time from its beginning to its end.
If so, He has rendered us masters of all of time in a single moment, of the present,
of the future, and of the past as well. Wherever we steer this moment now, there rushes all of time.

Wesley Hill Message from the Mayor - Road Safety
Concerned with ROAD SAFETY.
For full newsletter:
http://www.wesleyhills.org/News/Newsletters/newsletter%20Nov08.pdf
Road Safety
Recently, there were two unfortunate hit-and-run accidents in the Village.
In the first instance, a 55 year old man was crossing Route 306 at 12:30 in the morning.
He was wearing dark clothing and no reflectors of any kind.
Prior to the accident, the man was often seen wandering around and across Route 306. It
was reported that the man was walking home after the Sukkot Holiday, and that there was
more traffic due to the Holiday. Neither of those statements is valid During the Holiday,
traffic is much lighter than normal in the Village, and the Holiday ended at 7:00 pm, more than
5 hours before the accident occurred. In fact, the victim was returning from the Mobil station
where he had just made a purchase, something that would not occur during the Holiday. The
accident occurred within feet of a sidewalk that currently exists on the West side of Route
306, beginning at Willow Tree Road, going North for several hundred feet. Therefore,
sidewalks were not the issue here, especially since the victim was crossing the road at the
time.
In the second instance, three young boys were walking on Lime Kiln Road, when one of them
was hit and knocked into one of the other boys. Fortunately, in this case, the injuries were
not very serious. Once again, the boys were wearing dark clothing and no reflectors. The
accident occurred within feet of an existing sidewalk, but the boys were walking three abreast,
on the other side of the road, in the direction of traffic.
Both accidents are very upsetting. One of the largest concerns, is the fact that the drivers of
the vehicles did not stop.
Pedestrians need to keep in mind that cars and trucks use the roads, and therefore
need to take appropriate precautions:
Always use sidewalks where they exist.
Always walk on the side of the road facing traffic.
Do not walk two or three abreast.
Move over and/or walk single file when vehicles are present.
Always wear reflectors when walking at dusk or night.

Cosmic Fractals
It is a wondrous feature of the cosmos, how ideas repeat themselves at vastly different scales:
As planets and stars move in grand systems about their orbits, so the electrons move about a nucleus.
So too the same pattern is found within the microcosm of the human being—
and at every scale of every thing, from every frame of reference.
At each level there is a wholeness and a oneness, and yet each breaks
down into yet more minute particles creating yet another realm of wholeness—
and we have yet to find its end.
A perfect harmony of oneness from which comes an infinitude of beings.
The artist has left His signature within His masterpiece,
and His imprint within each and every detail. Cosmic Fractals

The Ark
There is a raging storm at sea. There are hellish waves that crash and pound at the shore, carrying all away, leaving desolation behind.
The sea is the world of making a living. The waves are the stress and anxiety of indecision, not knowing which way to turn, on what to rely. Up and down, hot and cold -- constantly churning back and forth.
Do as Noah did and build an ark. "An ark" in Hebrew is taiva -- which means also "a word." Your ark shall be the words of meditation and of prayer. Enter into your ark, and let the waters lift you up, rather than drown you with everything else.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman
Growing Each Day:
Rabbi Abraham Twerski
God said to Noah, "Enter ... into the ark" (Genesis 7:1).
The Hebrew word for ark, teivah, has two meanings: it can mean "an ark," and it can also mean "a word." In the above verse, the latter meaning tells us that God instructed Noah to "enter into the word." Rabbi Moshe of Kobrin expounded on this theme, explaining that when we pray, we should "enter into the words," i.e. totally immerse ourselves into each word of prayer, as though the word is encompassing us.
A listener once asked him: "How can a big human being possibly enter into a little word?" Rabbi Moshe answered, People who consider themselves bigger than the word are not the kind of person we are talking about."
The Talmud states that people's prayers are not accepted unless they efface themselves before God (Sotah 5a). God abhors those who are egotistical, and therefore the prayers of a vain person are not likely to be received favorably.
People preoccupied with their egos remain external to their prayers. The truly humble person feels small enough to "enter" even the tiniest word.
Today I shall ...
.. try to throw myself entirely into my prayers by setting aside those thoughts and feelings that would inflate my ego.
