It’s snowing like the dickens out there and I want to hide.
I want to hide in snow angels, swinging my arms and legs so
wide that the depth of the snow makes me invisible.
I want to hide in the fluffy, sweet softness of the
marshmallows floating atop my hot cocoa when I come in from the cold, wet play land.
I want to hide in the pages of my book, engrossed in the lives,
adventures, and misadventures of characters who are not me, whose worries and
triumphs are not mine.
I want to hide in the afternoon’s reruns, shows from my
childhood that I have to explain to millennials, shows they don’t want to binge
watch.
I want to hide in a nap, stretching out and, wrapped in warm
fleece, shutting down while the world goes on for a while without me.
Inspired by Ima on (and off) the Bima, this post is one in a series marking the days of the Jewish month of Nisan leading up to Passover, which begins at sundown on Friday, March 30, corresponding to the Hebrew date 15 Nisan 5778.
