“We reach to touch souls
as luminous as mirrors / so we might reflect light back to each other.”

Shadows of War

Me + Israel

“Maybe you don’t know about my / passion for justice and integrity.”

Enough

“May we not be afraid / To act big
and save the world.”

But One Journey

“Into what space do we turn on our winding ways / to the place of tears and grief?”

Where Is God

When will these hakafot of violence end?”
