End of Adar Shani

As we come into the final week of Adar Shani
Escorted by this week’s Torah portion, Shemini,
A call goes out:
Be aware of what you take into your body,
           Through the foods you eat,
           The information you consume,
           The thoughts and stories that wind through the mind.

Notice what nourishes the system
And what causes agitation.

And take note of where you are drawn
To give your time, energy and attention.
Ask yourself with kindness:

Is this engagement wise, helpful,
Nourishing?

The fires are lit on the altar
And our offerings are being called forth.

 May we be wise and discerning
In what and how we choose to give.
May the treasures of ourselves
Be received for blessing. 
And may the offerings of our hearts  
Be aligned for peace and healing for all beings.
