It Is Upon Us

 


It is upon us!
It is upon us to repair the broken places.
It is upon us to comfort the sick in body and heart.
It is upon us to bring sweetness to those around us.
It is upon us to face the truth.
It is upon us to know when we have choices.
It is upon us to see that justice is done.
It is upon us to be kind.
It is upon us to be mindful and compassionate.
It is upon us to forgive and be forgiven.
It is upon us to do teshuvah, returning to our true and decent selves.
It is upon us to do tefillah, understanding that our prayers are holy conversations.
It is upon us to do tzedukah, standing up for the survival of all our communities.

We bend our knees!
We bend our knees to acknowledge how small we are in the face of all this responsibility.
We bend our knees to warm up for all the hard work.
We bend our knees so that we may dance.

We are all one in the One-ness, there is no other.
And there is no one else to do the work.
It is upon us to save the world. Sorry.

Amen
