A CHANUKAH PRAYER
Ribbono shel Olam—Master of the Universe---as we soon take leave of this mysterious and sublime time----we ask you to shine light into our lives---light that will guide us through the days and the nights;
Tiny Chanukah lights that refuse to be put out despite all the exiles and all the hate ---they will never go away
Lights that are more precious than the stars in the sky
Lights that bridge the hiatus between the individual and the nation----between the physical and the spiritual
Lights that remind us of the glory that has been and the glory that is yet to be seen
Lights that shine for us the path that we will follow
Lights that enable us to bridge our yesterdays with our tomorrows
Lights that help us to finally understand why we are here in this present exile and how we can get ourselves free
Lights which tie together our lives with the lives of our illustrious ancestors
Lights which show us how all is for the best all of the time
Lights which illuminate what our Prophet says—'…not in power and not in strength—but in my spirit---says the Lord of Hosts' [Zecharia 4/4]
Help us have constant access to these internal holy lights---so deeply--- that we can draw them into our lives at all times
THE POETRY OF LIGHT
LIGHT
Dear creatures of light ---seers of sublime sights---knowers that the greater the darkness, the greater is the light inside ---- -----these are the days of hidden light ---light hidden inside of the crushed olive's oil----light hidden inside of the tortured soul who just doesn’t know what to do anymore----until someone's prayer from another place and time---awakens this broken soul to dare to hope-----dear brothers and sisters of hope---may your insights join with the insights of so many light filled sages---Sages who have lit up our way throughout the ages---shine through for you and melt away the senseless chaos----and scatter away the clouds –--the clouds that paralyze you with doubt--------may the dawn of history's ever increasing light lead the way---and have no fear---many people have many conflicting things to say [especially nowadays] ----just listen to the still small voice---the still small voice ---inspired by the power of 'no choice'-----it will resonate in the recesses of your soul----and display for you how the person you are now is the revelation of the person you were---and the impetus of the one who you are coming to be—divine inspired harmony-----and you don't have to believe me---just look deeply into the Menorah's holy light ---it will show you how your life is unfolding splendidly
SEE
see how everything is exactly as it should be---
and see how the more wholeness that you see---the more invincible will you be----and see how your soul inside is always reaching for the beyond of your life----
and see how all the voices of confusion and anarchy are revealing to you the light of sublime clarity-----
and see the essence of beauty when you identify the eternity inside of anything---
and see how not only what you see is what you get—but even more so what you don't see yet---
and see how all the non human phenomena of your life ---are actually intrinsically human like personas ---all reflecting the most amazing melodies in G-d's grand symphony---
and see how the trusting in the Holy One's ways---is opening up for you a life of grace and calm-filled and mind-filled and love-filled days----
and see how the very thought of Infinity liberates the way that you see---
and see the holy light shining inside of everything and every time and everywhere and everyone ----shining the most beautiful light---lighting up all the otherwise darkness-es of your life
WAITING FOR MY LIGHT TO BE SOWN
***take me there
show me where
I don't care
about anything else
so please take me there
*** light up my way now
the path eludes me somehow
show me the what and how
so that I too can know how
to light up my way now
***the past holds every clue
the future leads me into the new
this path is only for those chosen few
who knows if I belong
only the One Above
can provide me a clue
***take me back home
back to where I come from
to the place above the sun
bring me home
to that special place
that I can call my own
to a place that I've always known
to a place that I've been shown
to a place that is waiting for me
waiting for my light to be sown
