This morning I went running before the sun rose with my friends Grant and Yisrael. We ran by the Saskatchewan River just northeast ofSaskatoon. As we reached the halfway mark at a hilltop and turned around to run back to the car, I noticed a unique phenomenon. As I stood facing south I turned my head left and saw the rising sun, then right and saw the setting (almost) full moon; both of them were barely above the horizon. It was like stereo. Like a mirror image. Izzy started recounting the story that he loves to tell about how the sun and moon act like lover and beloved, taking turns chasing and catching up to each other throughout the course of every month.
It was a lovely morning.

Now I'm going to build a sukkah with my father. (Does anyone reading this blog not know what a sukkah is? Go ahead. Ask me. Leave a comment.)
