The Story of Shabbat


 Every Shabbat

We wake up and bless, 
Loving the return to our physical bodies.
Then we sing together in praise,
 Loving our community. 
Then we contemplate God and glory,
Loving our covenant  with wholeness. 
Then we stand and pray,
Loving our divine one-on-One. 
Then we read our holy books,
Loving our histories and our stories. 
Then we bend our knees,
Loving our commitments to justice and righteousness.
Then we daven the Kaddish,
Loving the memories of the dead. 

Then we drink wine,
Go home
And, if we’re lucky,
Have lots of good sex
With someone we love
And then 
A nice Shabbat nap. 

Shabbat Shalom,
Amen
