Let us remember that we are here together,
Beautiful and tender beings,
Doing our best to weave lives of goodness and blessing.

What hurts have I caused?
What pain has resulted from my words,
my actions, my silences?
With whom do I need to make amends?
Where can I seek repair?
As Elul shines its light
It calls us to notice judgments as they arise.
