may you be blessed
with radical refusal
to be anyone but you
and may the blessing of your absence
yield abundant presence of your own truest self
yes, you go can forth on the journey
like AbrahamAbraham is the first patriarch and the father of the Jewish people. He is the husband of Sarah and the father of Isaac and Ishmael. God's covenant - that we will be a great people and inherit the land of Israel - begins with Abraham and is marked by his circumcision, the first in Jewish history. His Hebrew name is Avraham.
just as everyone else is reclining back and keeping their heads down
the ancestral movement away
has always and will always be prophetic
and your differences have always and will always carry you the whole reeling and redeeming way
