Earth Etude for Elul 18 – Elements

by Judith Felsen, Ph.D.

 

When You gave us wind

we hid from it

when You offered us  rain

we wasted it

when You made us earth

we contaminated it

when You gave us air

we polluted it

when You showed us fire

we abused it.

Our response to You

has been destruction.

Your response to us

is Your correction.

Maybe we have one more chance

for our connection.
