Calling

As we begin Vayikra, the third book of the Torah, and the month of Nisan,

The Mystery calls from deep within:

Draw close.

Draw close to the seeds of light

Planted inside you.

Draw close to the spirit seeking to come through

The offerings of your hands.

Draw close,

By placing rachamim, compassion, upon your heart

As a shield

And a guide.

Draw close

By giving thanks,

By being true to your word,

By asking for help.

Know yourself as part of the cosmic unfolding.

The Mystery is calling

You.

Rabbi Yael
