Rabbi Danya RuttenbergJan 20, 2023

Our culture constantly pushes the lie that your value as a human being comes from what you do or produce or offer to others.

That's garbage.

You matter no matter what.

You are sacred just for being.

Shabbat Shalom.

@EgyptianAphorist @TheRaDR Thanks for the reminder that I want to explore Rumi. I've ordered one of his tales from the library.

@davey @TheRaDR Ah, good for you, Davey. Past the Coleman Barks #translations of his #poetry which are a good intro, I highly recommend #rumi ā€™s prose, written towards the end of his life (which Iā€™m #reading, now).
