Shamor v’Zachor: Gathering in Shabbat’s Sacred Lights

Wherever you are.
However you choose.
To gather your hands in
And make blessing.

Zachor: To remember.
and Shomer: To observe this holy day.
May you gather in the strength of generations.
To bathe yourself in the lights of where you came from and what, now, you must to do and not do for the sake of creation.
And may you strengthen the generations,
To take up this sacred refrain.
That we stop to behold the lightness we bring to the world through our blessed and capable hands.
