A poem about peace:
O God! Set a Light in My Heart
O God!
Set a light in my heart
And a light in my tongue
Set a ligh tin my ear
And a light in my eye
A light behind me; and a light in fron of me
And set a light above me
O God!
Give me light.
(From the Muslim Tradition, Al-Ghazali, Ihyd, Ulum al-Din, Part 1, ninth book. Translated by Shira Elqayam)
Mekor Ha'Chayiim, Source of Life, as we move into Shabbat may we be mindful or the capacity of our inner light. May we use our light to bring light and love to others.
Shabbat shalom,
Laurie
