The essence of happiness is that things are important and I have a connection to them. Things can only be important if there is a connection between cause and effect, one thing and another. Relevance is a measure of connection. In a world of random events, nothing has importance. Nothing has relevance.
Nothing has significance.
Nothing is going anywhere. For this is the month when we can detect that faintest whisper of that straight line leading to forever. The Jewish People carve a straight line through the history books of the world and out of this world to that which is above and beyond this world. To the extent that we embody that straight line, we are Yeshurun, the straight one. The happy one.
