Lecha Dodi Kavannah

 






Come, my friends, to meet Shabbat. 


Every week I step out of mundane time

To be present to what I’m actually doing

Instead of dwelling on what I’ve done before 

Or what I might do next

Or what has or will be done to me or around me,

Shabbat.


No matter how content, miserable or stimulated I am,

Every time I am fully inside the depth of a feeling

That is truly of now,

Aware in compassion, truth and presence,

In true connection, then 

It is Shabbat.  


And I am one with the bride:

Hopeful, excited, happy,

Meeting my friends,

My beloveds,

New every week:

My Shabbat.


Lecha Dodi!
