Two Notes in your Pockets

I’m reminded of something a rabbi said that stuck with me the past 20 years.

This rabbi—she said how on the life journey we need to carry in our pockets two reminder notes. In one pocket the reminder note reads: You, like all beings, are a spark of the Divine. You are made in the image of the Sacred. You are filled with, and reflect Light. In the other pocket the reminder note reads: You are grass. You are dust of the earth. Like flowers of the field, you are here today, and gone tomorrow.
