Good Things (Benching Gomel)

 

I have a knowing

Of HaShleimut,

The holy Wholeness, 

Of which I am a part. 

I am always in  this connection 

And even when I am afraid

I can remember I am not alone

So I survive. 

Though I was sick

Now I am well. 

Though I was weak

Now I am strong. 

Though I was in danger

Now I am safe. 

Though I was afraid

Now I am secure.

Bless the Holy Wholeness 

That encompasses all good things!

I give thanks,

I give love.

Amen

It’s Here

 It’s here

It’s time

It’s now

Sorry but it is

No choice

Get ready 

Be smart

Prepare

Be safe

Protect the innocent

Defy the violence

Hurt no one

Take pictures 

Use your privilege 

Truth to power

Know your rights

Gird your loins 

Because it’s here. 

Amen
