“Love is all I have to offer / If only it were enough”

“Thank You for the birds that build their nests in our branches and sing with us in the morning light”

“We can plant seeds of love where hatred has grown, / And we can rest when we feel overwhelmed.”

“Blessed Breath of the Universe, / I pledge myself again…”

“In the synagogue / hung a ner tamid the eternal flame / it too went up in flames”

“How precious is this silence…”

“Has darkness / settled upon us? Ninth plague? Can you see the way forward?”

In memory of Renee Nicole Good, z’l, a poet and a mother

“The held-back sea, somehow both still and moving— / it pulls her back to kneeling by the river…”
