I wasn't going to submit to Qarrtsiluni again this soon, but their October theme is "change and continuity" -- and given how resonant that theme is with the Jewish holiday season, how could I resist?

So I wrote a short piece I titled Spiral, and e-mailed it in, and the editors there have been kind enough to publish it. It's about Rosh Hashanah, and how this year differs from any other, and then again, how this year doesn't differ from any other at all. Enjoy!
