With Focused Intention

Dear Friends,

Sending love to all as we sit with the fires that are burning.
May we feel each other's presence,
And may the Source of All, please guide us
And help us choose the paths toward healing.

After the Omer I find myself returning to the psalms again and again, asking them to hold and guide me as I walk into this new season.

Sometimes I sit with full psalms, other times I walk with various verses from different psalms.

Here is an excerpt from Psalm 111 I place before my eyes and upon my heart.

Halleluyah,

With a full heart,

With focused intention,

Within the intimate gatherings of community,

I praise and acknowledge the Mysterious Unfolding of All Life.

Great are the ways of the Infinite Mystery,

                  And noble is the passion of seekers.

Glory and splendor fill creation

And the possibility of justice stands forever.

Wonder reminds us that grace and compassion fill the world.

Awe brings nourishment and commitment.

The strength of creation speaks, giving direction to all.

Truth and justice are woven through the work of our hands,

Faith and trust arise with practice.

The beginning of wisdom is awe of the Unfolding Mystery.

Good sense and insight come to all who seek.

Heartfelt gratitude expands into the Infinite

Awe-filled praise is forever.
Psalm 111

Love and Blessings to all.

Shalom,

Rabbi Yael
