On Yamim Noraim and Sukkos coming at the End

A prince left his father's palace and joined a gang of robbers. Time went on as it always does and he returned to his father and to following his father's ways. But the king couldn't trust his son, he feared that his son would return to his band of thieves. And the son did return to the robbers. But he rehabilitated them and transformed them into servants of the king. Now the king was relieved and happy. On Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur we rejoin our Father, but how can he trust us? He trusts us after we use Sukkot to elevate the physical things that brought us down and that we had to separate from, and we make them part of how we serve G-d so He (and we) need not fear that we will again be be taken down by them.
