Sarah’s lifetime was
One hundred years;
Twenty years;
Seven years.
Our lives move in stages.
We have the opportunity
To become a re-creation.
Eliezer prayed.
Eliezer set an intention:
He prayed,
To find a woman
Who would serve as healer.
Holy One of the Divine Matrix,
Who submerges
Into the silence,
Ayin,
Deepest of wells,
Cleanse and soften
My constricting borders
Of irrational,
Often harsh, judgment.
Bathe me,
Mayyim Hayyim,
Flood me with strength,
That I may be of service,
One blessed drink
At a time.
All have been hurt.
All are hurting.
Raise up my eyes
Through the vision of hesedLit. Kindness It is said in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) that the world stands on three things: Torah (learning), Avodah (worship), and Gemilut Hasidim (acts of kindness).,
To see the traumatized
And to journey,
With them,
And within myself,
Until there is a healing.
Then, because of love,
We can float
As burdens drown.
Let me join
My voice with
Others who say,
“Elekh.”
“I will go.”
Help me become
An answer
To a prayer for healing.
And let me say:
“Amen.”
