Lag b’Omer

I generally just celebrate this holiday with my friends at Beltane. This year (2006), the holidays were weeks apart. This put a damper on my enthusiasm.

Blessed is the match that burns out in lighting the flame.
Blessed is the flame that flares in the heart’s hidden chambers.
Blessed are the hearts that know when to leave off with honor.
Blessed is the match that burns out in lighting the flame.

— Hannah Shenesh
