Latest Rituals

“Our humanity craves life and eternity…”
“The suffering is vast: / We wonder, what can be done?”
“Haven’t we all struggled / with words that keep hope alive…”
“They’ll find simkha / coiled like a spring, / waiting to burst / into something beautiful…” 
“Even the angels must bend down, melt the snow in their hands / to smell its sweet fragrance.”
Inspiration for me / as I struggle to build / a space inside my heart / where holiness can dwell.
“Life is a precious jewel…”
“Morning mist makes its presence known…”
