Occupy

Occupy, By Mendel Hirsch

To occupy is more than to consume space; more than inhabiting.  To occupy is to influence an environment.  When being influenced, you are being occupied.

I occupy.

At home, I occupy.  Whether I’m aware or not, I occupy.   I’m a husband and a dad. 

In the community, we occupy.  Whether we’re aware or not, we occupy.  We are a Jewish community.

When unaware, we may be influencing negatively.  We occupy and we may be destructive.  When aware, we can focus on being constructive. 

Occupy; be present.
