The Mystery Within
After the thunder,
The lightening,
The mountain aflame,
The Infinite Mystery calls to each of us,
To all of us:
Make for me a holy place that I may dwell within you
Make for me a holy place that I may dwell among you. (Exodus 25:8)
Find me in the thunder and lightening,
In the grand, spectacular events, the Mystery says.
And know that I am in each blade of grass,
Every newborn sparrow,
I am in the movement of the river.
And I dwell in you.
Fashion your life as to know,
I dwell in you.
Honor your gifts.
Recognize your beauty.
Share your bounty.
You are a treasure.
Whatever you are holding,
Whatever you are feeling,
Whatever is happening,
I am with you.
Fashion your life so as to return to knowing
Again and again and again,
That you are a holy vessel
In which the Divine light
Shines.
Blessings to all,
Rabbi Yael
