Shanah Tovah 5777

by Rabbi Katy Z. Allen

 

As you enter this new year

may distance bring clarity

 

 

and may the many shades of the forest

be clear to you 

as separate and individual colors

each unique in its own right

 

may the sky be ever visible to you 

between the leaves

 

 may you understand

that the leaves

the sky

and the tendrils

are all interconnected

 

 and when you cry out for help

may your prayer

be answered.

 

 

Shanah tovah,

may you have a good year.
