It’s A Big Question: What Do I Need?

Two hands hold a small yellow flower
It’s a big question
What are my needs?
given that I live
In the diaspora.
 
What needs should I have?
 
What needs do I have
The right to have?
 
An answer comes
 
In the palms of my hands.
 
Rub those palms together.
 
Friction charges atoms
into movement.
 
Neighboring atoms
are compelled
to move.
 
In what direction 
should that movement go? 
 
Guide with Da’at,
become aware
 
Of the What Is,
and 
What is within
my reach?
 
Chesed and Gevurah
 
Vibrating –
 
Trying to find
their way.
 
What do I need?
 
Tiferet:
 
Balance in the truth of compassion.
 
What do I need?
 
Nothing
 
That isn’t 
already 
in
my 
own 
hands.
