Let’s Talk (Adonai S’fatai Tiftach )

 


Open my lips that my mouth may declare your glory”



Open my lips 


So okay, it’s me

And You

Creator of Light and Dark,

Object of love, loving us.

Claiming truth, demanding same. 

Seeing me and

Seeing us.

Let’s pray together. 

So, my dear, what’s new?

What is your name, really?

Do you nap on Shabbat like me?

This is a holy conversation.


So that my mouth may declare your glory!


Or not. 

I can’t talk to Glory, and

Awesome doesn’t return my calls.  

You’re here every day,

What’s so fearsome about that?

And where’s the dialogue in terror?

You’re not a king,

You’re not even a You. 

Let’s make a hevruta, let’s talk!

Ancestors, power, holiness,

Rest, healing, gratitude, peace,

So interesting. 


I’ll start.
