Here’s to a sweet Rosh Hashanah-the celebration of the Jewish New Year.

            It started yesterday and will continue through to next week when the holiday is culminated with Yom Kippur.   Going way, way, way back over 5,000 years ago-even before Robert Johnson and Bill Bernbach-these holy days were created by “my tribe” as an effort to explain why the winter nights got longer and the temps. got colder.  Back then, fear trumped logic.  Still does.  Logic often takes a backseat to fear because logic depends on facts and facts had no real roots until a few thousand years later.  Quite a few.  Facts still don’t seem to matter much to McCain and Sarah Palin-but that’s another crossroad discussion to be saved for  another time.

            This particular holy holiday sets up the constant battle between life and death. Success and failure.  Optimism and dread.  Goodness and evil.  So on and so forth.

            All crossroads.  All divergent paths that can’t be ignored.

            So there I sat yesterday, hour after hour, in the House of the Everlasting.  Having a think about who I am, about what I expect of me, about what I have to do and, yes, about TimeZoneOne.

            TimeZoneOne is a well-considered choice.  My choice.  One that allows me to have a far more interesting life, a greater sense of personal and group success, the positive energy of optimism and the undisputed goodness of truth.

            Life, success, optimism and goodness.

            Here’s to you, my friends.
