A Day of Atonement

Yom Kippur, the holiest of days in Judaism, began at sundown last night. After a day of prayer, fasting, and asking God's forgiveness, the holiday ends with a festive meal at sundown this evening.

I find this to be a time when I do my own personal introspection and prayer. To me, a person's spirituality can be expressed in many ways. Traditionally I would be in the synagogue, but, since my divorce, I have found more peace and clarity spending time sitting outside in nature with my inspirational books and my deepest thoughts.

Whatever your religious beliefs and practices, I wish you a peaceful day.
