may you be blessedÂ
with radical refusal
Â
to be anyone but you
Â
and may the blessing of your absenceÂ
yield abundant presence of your own truest self
Â
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.
Â
just as everyone else is reclining back and keeping their heads down
Â
the ancestral movement away
has always and will always be prophetic
Â
and your differences have always and will always carry you the whole reeling and redeeming way
