Roots. Foundation. Connection. Grounding. Creation within Majesty. Reality, Actualization. Shekhina. Selfitude. Kingdom. Sovereignty.
1) 16% reads the little battery icon on my phone as I gear up for the morning jog. A little heart clench. Jogging unplugged? No clock? What is a Hazzan to do? Time to plug into something else. Time to Connect with the Majestic wisdom of wood thrush, sunlight, mud, river.
2) Just being. What could be more Foundational than that? Quiet companionship. Listening to the not-speech. Breathing in. Breathing out. “There here and now is where the Kingdom of G9d is available.” (Thich Nhat Hanh)
3) The music. The prayer. The eyes. The opening. The tears. Connecting with the fullness of each Present Self.
Shabbat Shalom.
