Unetenah Tokef

Trusting in the journey
let us speak of the awesomeness, 
always a work in becoming —

Living in the mystery
of the Unknowable 
as time leads,
do not waste it in worry 
nor be distracted 
on Rosh HaShanah by what is written, 
or on Yom Kippur as to what will be sealed –

Rather, awake to the moment
when the Shofar calls. 

In hearing the stillness 
of that narrow voice, 
may you hear it with your ears, 
feel it in your heart, 
and see it with your eyes —

the innate presence of Hashem
in yourself and others. 

With kindness, hope and strength 
trusting in your process, 
may your insights become clear 
lifting you back to Divine Wisdom –

in community and in love.

Hag Sameach everyone!
