Neshamah

Breathe in the lightness of your surroundings;
Exhale the darkness, sorrow, oppression, and fear.

Absorb the joy of the moment,
the fragrant, comforting breeze of euphoric spirit.

Let the delights of the sky above, earth below, 
sun’s warmth, and the sound of refreshing waters wash you clean of distress.

Feel the molecules of life, and the spaces encircling them move within you; 
listen to the pauses between the words spoken and floating in your mind.

Recognise the harmonic silence when the music rests, or the cadenza fades away.

Become part of the surrounding Life; 
let your calm awareness enhance and embrace the Light.

“Se’u Shearim” Lift up your Heads

Today it is the beginning, the birthday of the world; 
today is the dawning of the Light, the igniting of the “Bang”, the sounding of the horns.
Today is the opening of the gates; 
today is the writing of the Book, the thrumming of the strings, the wailing of the Ram.
Today the year begins anew; 
today is the reading of the scrolls, the chanting of the tropes, the singing of all hearts.
Today may it be sweet; 
today may we be Blessed; today may we repair the World, today may we have Peace.
