Collective Birkat HaGomel/et, June 2023

Open window with white frame
The blessing for 
there is no air quality warning today 
 
The blessing for
I took a walk in my neighborhood this morning
 
The blessing for
I just opened my windows again
 
The blessing for there is blue in the sky again I had never noticed it this way before
 
The blessing for 
  and
the blessing from
the milkweed growing outside of my doctor’s office
 
and then
 
the farmers market: so good 
just
 to be there, but then also: strawberries: fresh bright yesses 
grown up out of the ground
ready to stain us with hope
