Pre-Pesach 5780:
Scavenger Hunt
in the Age of Telehealth

Find something round,
find something that makes you happy,
find a window,
find a book.

Find your feet,
wherever they are.
Find the tip of your nose.
Find each shoulder, each hip.
Find one of your favorite memories.

Find a thing that's broken.
Find something deeply well.
(You're allowed to double-count things.)

Find two things different today from yesterday.
Maybe, as you start out,
it's just your clothes
and the clouds outside.

Find something purple-pink.
Find one thing everlasting.
