“Stuck in claims of blessings and curses,  What are we afraid of? “

“Now, in this moment, / the veil shimmers into translucence / and the fiction of our separation / hesitates and wavers.”

“our brothers and sisters stolen- ancestral lands left in ruins…”

“I want to introduce them / Shekhinah and my mother / They share a love of flowers, birds, Plants, trees, cats…”

“I walk further into the field, and in the distance, I glimpse You, / Standing on the horizon, your arms open to greet me…”

“We beseeched the beings of wind and earth and air and G-d…”

“I think of the Palestinian and Jewish children / singing together in the Jerusalem Youth Chorus…”

“We gather today to remember, not to mourn.”

“Hineni. / Here I am. / But am I here?”

“Once I stop my sinful actions, I open the space / to begin to heal.”
