May I
A powerful story about healing between sisters
Building a Tabernacle
Inspiration for me / as I struggle to build / a space inside my heart / where holiness can dwell.
Return and Renewal
“Life is a precious jewel…”
Greeting the Dawn: Shakharit on a Massachussetts Mountain
“Morning mist makes its presence known…”
The Season of Fire
“We arrive at Sinai, but we don’t get to stay…”
Listen
The first time I heard the voice of the Infinite One //
I thought it was a mountain falling.
My Love is Water
Vast floods cannot quench love; //
rivers cannot drown its life-weaving power.
So close, ‘devarim,’ words and ‘devorim,’ bees
Only Torah, our tradition teaches, is sweeter than honey, //
its aroma and taste more desirable than gold, //
its devarim eternal
This … is the Gulf of America
From sea to shining sea, each one meant to be //
blessed, possessed, with life and liberty //
But between the premise, the promise, and reality //
there exists an abyss of inequality
Ancestor
I reach to you, stumbling //
on stones, on translations.
