I want to write an essay or a poem to capture the essence of this day, this singular moment in time.

But I am utterly drained.

So here’s a page of words that comes to mind:

Since this section of my entry will be for public consumption, I’ll tell ChatGPT to work its magic to string these words together into a coherent, inspiring, soulful, short poem written in my voice; that indirectly addresses some of the heavier topics of today, yet have a universal tone and message to the reader, who inevitably is also going through something.

Ready, ChatGPT? Go forth and create for me!

In the tapestry of life, we find our place,
A journey of discovery, an endless chase.
Freedom’s dance, a rhythm bold,
Amid rigidity’s grip, stories untold.

Fear and dread, they try to bind,
But buried deep within, passion we find.
Trauma’s mark, etched on our soul,
Yet trust and faith, help us feel whole.

In this universe, we seek equality’s light,
Understanding others, through day and night.

Inclusion and diversity, their stories told.

Triumph in bravery, a meaning so clear,
As questions arise, and doubts disappear.
Openness blooms like a spectrum’s hue,
Sensitive hearts, forging connections true.

An unwritten song, in life’s great blues.
Guitar strings strum, a melody’s grace,
Binding us together, in this sacred space.

Spirit’s embrace, as we yearn and yearn.
Justice sought, a guide through the dark,
Authors of our lives, leaving their mark.

A movement of emotions, where we all start.

A welcome sanctuary, free from harm.
In the open tent, under stars above,
Community thrives, a bond of love.

Belief and conviction, strong and true,
In the face of adversity, we push through.
Hashem’s protection, like a shield and light,
Leading us forward, through day and night.

Convictions deep, like an author’s quill,
Writing our stories, with heart and skill.
Rehabilitation, second chances found,
Sobriety’s journey, on solid ground.

Inspiration sparks, like a fiery flame,
Leaders of progress, bringing change’s name.

Water’s journey, a river’s endless flow,

A purpose unveiled, a story’s goal.

Grit and perseverance, in every fight.
Holocaust’s shadow, a past to bear,
Yet splash of hope, fills the air.

Tolerance’s power, to make things right.
Through winds that ripple, waves that churn,
In the canon-ball of life, we learn.

Accountable for actions, as balance we seek,
Breath’s gentle rhythm, calming and meek.
Air’s embrace, flame’s warmth so sweet,
In the sun’s rising, new journeys we greet.

Darkness and light, a dance of hope,
Guiding us forward, through challenges we cope.
The future’s promise, therapy’s grace,
A planet’s evolution, in nature’s embrace.

Nurture and nature, hand in hand,
Travel through time, across every land.
Limits and boundaries, rules we abide,
Broken pieces find beauty inside.

Complete and whole, like a masterpiece rare,
Torn yet authentic, we boldly dare.
Vulnerable and strong, as we rise above,
In unity’s embrace, we find our love.

1990s memories, a canvas so bright,
Israel’s desert, where dreams take flight.
Silence’s solace, sleep’s gentle sway,
Restarting each moment, in a brand new day.

Commitment’s power, a refreshing stream,
Commentary woven, in margins that gleam.
Alive and thriving, identity’s claim,
Fluid growth’s journey, in life’s grand aim.

So, let these words carry, a message to impart,
From the depths of my soul, to every heart.
In the midst of your journey, as you find your way,
May these words inspire you, for a brighter day.

With love and light, Ali
