Yesterday's sunset marked the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. I emailed a friend to wish him l'shanah tovah (for a good year) and sent him the following meditation that I had found in a Rosh Hashanah thread at Street Prophets:

May this Rosh Hashanah, birthday of the world, be our day of rebirth into life and peace, safety and serenity, as the new year begins.

As the new year begins, let us begin again the art of dreaming, and begin again to weave the blanket of peace that will clothe us in harmony.

With our own new year, Samhain, coming soon and thoughts turning to the cycles of life, the message of rebirth into life and peace, safety and serenity is powerful and appropriate. On a personal level, the thought that we should begin again the art of dreaming really resonated and reminded me that we should never stop dreaming for those things that will make us happy and at peace.
