Before we left Egypt
we were telling the story
of our liberation,
Even as we consumed
the idol of our oppressors.
We are a people
whose kavannahLit. Intention Refers both to one’s intention when performing a mitzvah or when focusing for prayer. Kavanah also refers to specific readings to help focus one's attention prior to performing an act. is to hope.
Life Force of the Matrix of The Holy Blessed One,
Help me
set alight the chametz
blocking the integrity of my alignment
of Da’at’s relational consciousness
Ablaze within the tenderness
of Tiferet’s vulnerable heart,
Transformed by Yesod’s deepest connection
for the sake of
Shekhinah’s tzedek v’shalom.
I do not want the world to burn.
What I want
is flame enough
to cauterize the wound,
ransoming emunah’s holy letters,
to create the redeemed future
You want me
to see.
