As Rosh Hashanah draws near (or as we draw near to Rosh Hashanah), I was called to write some poetry for the special moment of the morning liturgy that centers around the three themes of Divine Sovereignty (Malchuyot), Divine Remembrance (Zichronot), and Divine Calling (Shofarot). I will post them individually.
The idea of G8d as sovereign or king can be a mighty challenge for many for a million-and-one reasons. Here is my current take on it…
Malchuyot
Who?
What?
Where?
When?
Why?
How?
Yes!
AND
Not yet…
OR
I have something better for you
He/hu/She/hee/they/them/We/Anochi
It
Is not too far off
In around
Blessings
Curses
All things
And
No-Thing
Dreams
Reality
It is only What
Is
Was
Will Be
