A 13-year-old boy stands between his father and his teacher, eyes covered, whispering the Shema Yisrael. Time feels suspended as the ritual moves through him like light through stained glass. What begins as recitation becomes revelation that thriving is rarely about rising above life, but about finding moments of awareness within it, glimpses of the mystery that connects us all and makes us part of something infinite.
