My husband stokes the fire / with wood the children gathered / I knead the dough – / an offering for the Source of all
The toy Solar System / gets the revolutions right / but a true scale model / would take up half of town / .

“Prophecy is the glue that yokes today / with tomorrow, it is one hopeful word…”
“The stone, once mud  at the bottom of the ocean / pressed into rock by time, / will outlast me.”
“Praying at The Wall, / Rav Kook’s Four-Fold Song / Singing in my ear…”
