Trying to focus on writing my Rosh Hashanah sermons
I am alerted by an email
A new appointment
Day - blank
Time - blank
Location - blank
Memo - Unknown

I logged onto Calendly for some clarification
No new appointment appeared
And yet, another email…
Another new appointment
Day - Every day
Time - All the time
Location - Everywhere
Memo - Keep on…

Again, I looked at Calendly for answers
There, the appointment showed up
However, The return email was blank
The name was blank
I closed my eyes, confused and unsure.

Then it came to me - focus, think, reflect
Coming into focus - not easy these days
Was the following word:
Hope.

Today, tomorrow, every day afterwards - Hope.
When I am not able to focus - Hope.
As the days drudge along - Hope.
Tikvah. Hope.
