I believe many of our youth have great things to say if we inspire them enough to say it and give them the opportunities to do so. Obvoiously you have done so. Kudos to you!
As for your Wordle meditation box, I had just heard that same show on NPR and you did a great job on your word box. It is a wonderful High Holy Day meditation. I am very impressed with your skill at using the web site. I also love the word box and had to enlarge it so I could really see and ponder all the words and what they mean to me at this time in my life and during this season of the year (just before the Jewish New Year).
Of course G-D would be the largest, most mentioned in your blog. Does that mean G-d is the most important word to contemplate this holiday season? Well, certainly m relationship with G-d is important, but I think my relationship with G-d translates best into my relationship with my fellow human beings. If I am correct, relationship was another large word. It is important. How we relate to the world, our family, our friends, our neighbors (near and far) is in direct relationship to how we relate to a higher being. After all, isn’t it important that we seek forgiveness from those we’ve hurt (and make it right) before we seek forgiveness from G-d? So, while I certainly understand why G-d is the largest word, for me relationship is what took my contemplative time for this viewing. Another viewing may find me focusing on something else.
