we are not the fringes of our garment
but the entire garment
we are not in need of shelter
we are shelter
and our abilities are not our shame
or our unraveling
rather by weaving our own existence, we weave self and communityÂ
Barukh atah adonai eloheinu melekh ha’olam asher kid’shanu b’mitvotav v’tzivanu l’hitatef batzitzit.
holding difference
embracing life
we cannot
nor shall we ever be contained
all the weaving days of our livesÂ
