Powerlessness and the fascinations of fundamentalism
Wise beyond all words,Light beyond all light,
Joy beyond all joy
Ache beyond all aching.
G-d inspires the smallest and the largest moment of life in a single instant that lasts an eternity’s blushing kiss.
Beyond you there is only more of you. Within you there is still the fullness of you. We whirl and dance, held in your thrall. You are everything to us and yet so beyond our knowing. You are no-thing to us and in your no-thing-ness you remind us of the hopes and fears, the limits and frustrations of the human place in creation.
Blinded and yet seeing, we are yours forever. And you are ours. Your life is our life. Our knowledge is your knowledge, your time is our life, and our lives are your gift.
