Dear Beth Tikvah family,
Shalom! As we turn from the Days of Awe to the Joy of Sukkot, I thought I would simply share this blessing. During this upcoming festival we focus on simplicity, impermanence, and joy, and as such we also read Kohelet or Ecclesiastes with its words made famous by Pete Seeger (and The Byrds) in the 1950s (watch the video above): To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. We have a lot planned for the festive week and look forward to uplifting one another!
Meanwhile, I will leave you with this blessing and say, Shabbat shalom!
Many blessings,
RST
In This Turning: A New Year’s Day Meditation
Darkness and grace
Mourning and thunder
Light and rejoicing
Daybreak and open sky
Here I surrender
To the chance for love
Your warm breath
Your loving hands
The fire in your eyes
The hope in your heart
What gifts wait in this turning
To you
To myself
This joy
This adventure
What gifts wait in this turning
And this yearning
This new year
This new wonder
Let blessings rain down
Upon [me/us] from heaven
And let hope settle softly
Upon this open heart
Let this be the time to sing
To dance
To play
And to delight in another
Glorious
Day
