Rest in Her Wings

The questions never stop.  So many attempts to answer.

The words the healer speaks, just for you

Songs of healing-delicious, intentional, with tears, with smiles

The remedy-or is it an incantation?

Just the right herbs and spices

Prayer-alone, in community, in dreams, in dance

Forgiveness-self, forgiveness-others

Yearning for more, always a yearning for something else

Meditation, sitting, standing, walking, swimming, eyes open, eyes closed

Fasting

Purging

Unraveling the grief

Rituals of surprise, rituals of fixing

Letting go, letting in.

Don’t you know that Shechinah’s wings are big enough for all the questions?

There is no problem needing a fix

Rest in her wings, let her accompany you.

Rest in her wings
