   Hello there!

   I just wanted to thank you for stopping by the Wandering Hearth and leaving some of your thoughts with me. Of *course* your perspective is worth quite a bit – Jewish, Pagan, Christian, all experience and knowledge is golden.

   I can totally understand how someone might use the head covering as a form of showing ritual respect or devotion. It’s not that I do not and I would never say that someone should or shouldn’t do something that they feel compelled to do for this purpose. I honor everyone’s right to practice their devotion in any way they see fit. It’s only for myself that I feel it doesn’t fit or make sense for my way of worship and belief, but there’s room for all ways at the table, even if it doesn’t fit or sit well for myself.

   Many blessings to you, and again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

   Lyon

     Lyon, thanks for your comment. I think what bothered me was not your bafflement or initial post, but rather, the tenor of some of the comments that followed. One commenter even said something along the lines of, “RUN” and I felt that was so unfair and kneejerk.

     I totally grok not feeling like a particular practice is right for you or not understanding why someone would feel it were right for them, and I absolutely don’t think that implies any disrespect on your part for wondering out loud about it. Like you say, it’s a totally big table!

     Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
