We greet the day with gratitude, blessings, and praise.
Interpretive translation of second paragraph of the Shema
“Infinite One, Don’t turn away–accept my prayers. I know You hear all our prayers”
“my murmurs are threaded / with half-finished dream”
“May we find the little cracks and crevices where the light / can creep in …”
“How can we open our mouths, our lips, our hearts and speak something that is true and honest?”
“Remember, you can always find Me in the fringes.”
For forming our own words of comfort about the pandemic before the recitation of Sh’ma
“I am blessed by the light of the morning”
