That way, you get to be agnostic but still have traditions and community. Or maybe not. We tried the UUs here and gave that up. I still haven’t found a religious community in which to raise my Sophie (and even if I had, I would have no right to give you advice on something so personal), but I know that open-thinking religion supported my own childhood, and especially my own mother. When I get a free moment (hah!) I hope to find that again around here.

I just realized we both went to CU J-school! So the eerieness continues!

And I hope you guys come out soon…you do know that I don’t live in NYC anymore but the nearby ‘burbs of NJ. Not as “glamorous” but so much easier in many ways. I did the NYC living thing and I’m definitely too old and too poor for it now.

I am about to post something about taking Leo to synagogue. I have a lot to say on this subject.
When are you guys coming to NYC for a visit? : )

In my view, prayer works the same way meditation works — if you let go, focus will find you, and you’ll see the things you need to see. Most of us need a tiny, special ritual to remind us when it’s time to let go.
