Adventures at Rasa Ranch #150

[Guest guest]

12/22/03

 

A friend came over to our house today. She brought with her a big

hunk of clay and the kids and I played with it for hours. Finally,

we crafted a beautiful menorah and tonight I lit the candles for the

first time in about fifteen years. I even remembered the blessing

and I sang it as Ananda lit them one by one. We put the menorah on

the windowsill in the kitchen and turned out the lights. As we stood

and gazed at the candles in their silent, golden goodness, it felt as

if, for the first time ever, I understood the true meaning, the true

miracle of Chanukah.
