My Mess

By: Tal Nitzan illustrations: LiorKatzir

Most people are glad to return home at day’s end, even if their home is far from being a splendid palace. This story is a love-song to all the little things that make us who we are, and to everything that surrounds us – so familiar and well-beloved.

Who is Rich? The ONE who is happy with what they have (AVOT 4:1)

This Mishnah from “The Wisdom of the Sages” teaches us that human happiness may be measured not in costly possessions, status, or money – but in the capacity to be grateful for and rejoice in what we have. Just like all of us, the girl in this poem is not perfect. She has a bulbous nose, a squeaky voice, even a messy room – yet she’s happy and “rich,” because she loves and accepts herself for who she is.
