The honey and the sting is a delicious idea to contemplate as Rosh Hashanah looms. This new year is born to remind us that endings aren’t always bitter. New beginnings aren’t always sweet. Sometimes a sting is so vivid that we crave honey to soothe the ghost of the pain. I pray that courage comes when it’s time to choose the thing that is guaranteed to deliver both the honey and the sting.
