Sukkot: SITTING IN EMPTINESS



On Sukkot, we sit in the sukkah:

In an empty room

Porous walls

Holes in the ceiling

No door


And we feel the same:

No hope

Unprotected

Everything bad gets in

And literally, no exit.


And we feel the same:

Everything possible can get in

Vulnerable to love

Safe in the community’s hut

Open to Holy Wholeness


We sit in this emptiness that is not empty

And in a week it will be gone.
