Detail from a 13th-century Arabic treatise by the Persian cosmographer/geographer known as Qazvini whose title translates to Marvels of Things Created and Miraculous Aspects of Things Existing. It includes both angeology and a bestiary. (Drawings of two winged humanoid creatures, one painted grey and one an olive green; a yellow monkey of approx. equal height appears to be running from them, and an olive-colored bird appears in the row below.)

It's that time again!

What's on your mind?

What personal, political, theological or ethical questions are you holding?

What recommendations for books or podcasts or places to connect are you ISO?

What frustrations or stuck places might you want an outside take on?

Given that it's now officially Elul, the month leading into Rosh Hashana, do you have any repentance and repair-specific questions on your mind and heart?
