As You Enter

Ki Tavo: As You Enter   

We continue our walk toward the New Year
In this week’s Torah portion we can hear

The Mystery call:
Come close,
Enter,
Bring what you have discovered
Bring what you have harvested,
Bring who you have become through the passage of circumstance and time.
Enter and take your place in the intricate unfolding of creation.

The world needs you.

Out of fear or habit
The soul hesitates,
It hides. It cries:
There is too much uncertainty. There is too much pain.
I don’t want to go.

I will wait, the Mystery responds.
I will wait for you to awaken,
I will wait for you to remember

            That you were born into this fragile existence

To let your heart shatter and shine.

Love and blessings to all,

Rabbi Yael
