Blessed
are you Lord, King Of The Universe”
These are Blessed Metaphors
For a hierarchy we have no
use for,
A patriarchy that excludes us
And for a divine being we
don’t believe in:
So we reject them.
Mazal Tov!
Instead we look for our own metaphors:
For a one-ness that unites,
A presence that comforts,
A mythology that instructs,
A venue for all your
questions,
A chevre that gathers you
in,
A community that resists
oppression,
A tradition that stretches,
A music that exalts,
And prayers that are more
than words.
We feel this quest deeply,
And it connects us.
It’s not in belief,
Its in the Knowing:
Blessed Knowledge,
Whatever that is,
We give thanks for this Place
Where we can look for our own metaphors
And where we are invited to share them when found.
Amen.
