What can help us sit in the turmoil, cruelty
and chaos of these times?
What can help us keep rising
to meet all that these times bring?
Go deep.
Reach high.
Because the way we live matters,
not just for ourselves
but for all those who will someday call us ancestor.
How we live, who we are
will determine how life goes on.
May we humans shine.
May we be vast in our perspective.
May the Source of All be gracious with us,
and may we be blessed.
Rejoice in life’s blessings.
Delight in the earth’s abundance.
Sing, celebrate and give thanks.
Blessings to all as we walk from Rosh Hashanah toward Yom Kippur.

Return to awareness.
Return to relationship.
Because we are here together with all life,
participants in the Infinite Unfolding.
Divine Presence, do not be silent,
do not be still,
for brutality rages
and hatred lifts up its head.
Psalm 83:2-3
May this season propel us toward acts of kindness and tikkun (repair).

Let us seek relationship.
Let us strive for understanding.
Let us be determined to unleash
compassion again and again and again.
Pursue healing and justice
out of love for creation and all beings.
These practices will hold you
as the waves tumble.
Send forth your light and truth, they will guide me.
Psalm 43:3
Give thanks. Listen well.
Offer help. Seek guidance.
Engage with ritual. Share your blessings.
This is it.
This is all there is.
This, right now
is it.
