And today was blissful
And today was blissful
Maybe the bad times aren’t so bad
Taking this broken glass,
And building my mosaic
I smiled at my loneliness;
I found peace and pleasure
This Shabbat.
“When I keep Shabbat, God watches over me”
And God called the Sabbath pleasure.
I am here.
I do not need to arrive.
I am here.
I am always here. Existing.
Baruch ata adonai, ein sof, ein od, elohi. Elohi chai vkayam. Raba emunatekhah, elohi.
Blessed are you adonai, without end, no other, my god. My god, alive and existing. Great is your faithfulness, my god.
You have begun to meet me.
