I Am The Theme: May 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Monday, May 29, 2006. Nothing but a bris. Once again I find myself zocheh to say, "Baruch she'asah lee et hanes hazot.". Posted by ayala @ 1:40 PM. Tuesday, May 23, 2006. The two women in front of me are speaking very quickly to their two sweet children in Arabic and I am amazed how much it sounds like Hebrew. They are both covered completely, except for their eyes. First I think they must be uncomfortable in the summer heat, but soon I will change my mind. Posted by ayala @ 4:48 PM.

I Am The Theme: April 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Sunday, April 30, 2006. And that question is strengthened by friends and family, by teachers and poems your recite in your mind in the middle of the night. And that question is trivial, is small, is something that is a regular topic in your life but now seems to be so much more than that, so much more than just a topic. That question is the question of shomer nagiah: guarding your touch. But right now, I feel like I have been waiting forever. Posted by ayala @ 5:27 PM. Accent: I never rea...

I Am The Theme: September 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Monday, September 18, 2006. There are some things that you really always know. Despite what we may say or convince ourselves to believe there are some things that you keep locked in the back of your mind. Things that you hide from yourself because you are scared of what they may mean for who you are; for what you are. Posted by ayala @ 8:02 PM. Friday, September 01, 2006. We have been looking for hours, searching every foot of the beach. Still nothing. But no matter how long it ta...Alrig...

I Am The Theme: December 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Saturday, December 30, 2006. Again his words echoed in my head: "Burnt out."How did that happen? How did I fall into the trap of appearances? Burnt out." Out of air as I try to lace up the corset. Without realizing, I have let them slip the heavy fabric over my chest. They have only begun to tighten the ribbons laced through the back and already I cannot breath. Where am I holding? I do not attempt to create this gown on my own. There are some measurements I have not learned how to ta...

I Am The Theme: July 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Sunday, July 23, 2006. The truth about fireflies. Fireflies only light up when they are talking to another firefly. A firefly alone in a jar will not shine; bugs don't talk to themselves. Humans, on the other hand, talk to themselves all the time. Perhaps bugs are not so self centered. Perhaps they just have less confusion. Do not struggle when the hook of a word brings you into the air of truth and you cannot breath." (The True Story of Hansel and Gretel). I bought a bracelet from a hot ...

I Am The Theme: March 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Saturday, March 25, 2006. Do we notice how many miracles there are going on around us? Do we see those small things that get left behind in the pattern of our lives? Do you know that trees, these huge beautiful creations that tower over us and remind us of life even when they seem to be dead, come from little seeds? Do you know that women grow babies inside of them? Did you know that they grow these children and keep them safe and then they give birth to them? What if we only saw miracles.

I Am The Theme: June 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Friday, June 16, 2006. Pick a road any road. Sometimes I wish my life was a movie. So everything could be scripted, planned. So I would have the perfect line to say, always the perfect response at that perfect moment. So the music would start playing, first slow and soft then leading up to the big bang of the drums at an appropriately dramatic moment. So I would know. When am I leaving? And no matter how far I may go on my adventures, no matter how long the road may be, I promise that I w...

I Am The Theme: August 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Friday, August 18, 2006. I'm going on a end of summer vacation, I guess you could call it, for a couple of weeks and I won't have a computer. Have a good couple of weeks. Bye! Posted by ayala @ 2:34 PM. Monday, August 07, 2006. Silhouette of the world. That what they are saying is true. A good writer makes you believe. That their words are real. A great writer makes you know. Jews start the day at night. It always seemed strange to me. Why do we start the day when we are asleep?

I Am The Theme: November 2006
http://iamthetheme.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
I Am The Theme. Wednesday, November 22, 2006. Why, in a time when the world is quick to turn against us, do we turn against each other? Why is it easier? Why has peace become a joke? Why is it unexpected? Why is everything a race for us, when did quantity become superior? Why is my land a mess of hate and tension? Why does my heart pull me there with such intensity that sometimes I feel like I cannot breathe? Who chose this for me? Who signed these papers of everlasting war? I can't take it anymore. ...
