In the darkness
Complete and unadorned
A single spark
Leapt into existence
Life and being
Were born in that moment
As Divine Creation
Entered the universe
Â
Wrapped in a cloak
Of mystery and questions
She began Her descent
With purpose and direction
Â
Carrying the promise
Of RuakhLit. Spirit. Some new versions of blessings call God "Spirit of the World" (Ruakh Ha’olam), rather than "King of the World" (Melekh Ha'olam). and NeshamahSoul
She blazes a pathway
For Her children to follow
Â
Her name is ShekhinahThe feminine name of God, expounded upon in the rabbinic era and then by the Kabbalists in extensive literature on the feminine attributes of the divine.
And She brings renewal
As Her cloak falls away
Our souls can find light
