Hashem's Guests

If we can remember that we are Hashem's guests, we can move on to Step 2. This also, is part of the hidden challenge — the special pleasure — the buried treasure of our lives. What is Step 2? Crown Hashem. Make Him King of the world. Step out onto a city sidewalk. Stand, firmly, with legs slightly apart. Place your hands on your hips, or raise them to the skies, and shout aloud, "Good morning, Hashem! What can I do for you today? Good morning, Hashem! Thank you for my life, the air I breathe, the food I eat, the ground I walk on."

O.K. So we didn't mean it literally, certainly not for our women readers.

Now, if this sounds like a sure way to call the police — to ask them to arrest you and throw away the key — lock you away as a threat to society — then make this declaration in a silent way. Say it in your mind, or by way of your prayer. Do this the right way — and the glow on your face will inspire your world — it will rouse others too to see that only Hashem is King.
