I have periodically had a similar experience; however, I only wish that there were some way for us to be ever aware of how tenuously precious life is, and the interconnectivity of all. I find that all too often this sentiment disappears shortly after that millisecond when we are "shaken out of our complacency" and then it becomes business as usual once again. Although Yom Kippur creates this heightened sense of the urgency of change, Sukkot never seems to evoke the same sentiment. Perhaps your wonderful kavanah here will inspire me to view the zman simchatenu as more than just an excuse for fall camping. Very true and insightful post, Rachel.
