Let breath be the bridge from despair to hope
Let faith guide my doubts from why to what
Let me find meaning in my questions even as they lack answers
Let my questions reflect my values toward lovingkindness of self and others
Let my center not be my self but the ground upon which humanity stands
Let us each seek groundedness in our connections to others, humanity, and the Universal One
Let us strengthen the ground upon which we walk, through prayer and positive intent
Let those intentions be the meal with which desire is baked
Let our desires lead us to better places and take others with us as we pursue righteousness amidst stormy times
Let these times not define our legacy even as history unfolds, let our legacy be led by our best intentions
Let our intentions augment, elevate, and echo through consciousness, raising our mores like a shofarA ram's horn that is blown on the High Holidays to "wake us up" and call Jews to repentance. It is also said that its blast will herald the coming of the messiah. calls for our souls
