What Does It Mean to Have a Choice

 We get today what may be a final admonition that there is a choice - between life and death, blessing and curse, land and no land, connection to the ancients and eternal loneliness. 

What does this actually mean, though?

After a short Shabbat nap, the answer sort of hit me like a ton of bricks - this can only possibly mean that every single moment is a choice for eternity. 

This is so very tough to swallow. After this beautiful Torah study and peaceful writing, what will become of me?  What will happen as soon as I leave this womb of just H' and me?  


I will get frustrated and sad and angry and hopeless and so many other things that God does not desire me to be. 

If only I could remember - to be holy at all times. To make the right choice. 

H', in this Shabbat directly before Rosh Hashanah, p!ease five me the strength to always, always, always choose life.
