My birthday is May 5. My brother's birthday is May 10.
A couple years ago, David and I started celebrating the days between our birthdays with an annual tradition we call "The Five to Ten." From May 5-10, we spend 5-10 minutes a day working simultaneously on some sort of creative project. One year, we had to write a poem each day about members of our family. Another year, we were to select a song each day that holds special significance for us. Another year, we wrote each day about interesting things we learned in college or grad school.
This year, David and I are both in a time of transition. I'm finishing my time working at Hillel at Emory, my time living in Atlanta, and moving to Israel for the year with my girlfriend Leah to start rabbinical school. David is getting married. We're using the Five to Ten to honor our transitions. On May 5, we were each to select an object make slight changes to that object every day until May 10. The idea is to see how transformation happens gradually over time. Check back again soon for photos of my project.
