new week

each week
starts
as new

each week
new start

clean slate
but
not empty

always
plans

more or less
structure
restrictions

limits
guide lines

within that
we fill in
the colors
the music
the details

this week--

I'll start learning
t'hilim, kohelet*
with friends

a cultural evening
out
with husband

work, teaching
staff meeting

babysitting
routine

not full
fill in gaps
music
pool
surprises
friends

good news
G-d willing

now it's
a new week
soon this
then last
and old

so
another
new week

cycle
continues
round and round
