Listen

"If you're lost, you feel afraid, and you don't know what to say, then listen, listen to our God.

Is there a question on your mind? Is the answer hard to find? Then listen, listen to our God.

Listen with all your heart and soul, and with all your might; write them and learn them and teach them well. Every morning and night; close your eyes and listen.

Quiet yourself; there's nothing to say, stop all the chatter that gets in the way, and listen, listen to our God.

When the wind and the thunder finally disappear, there's still a voice that you can hear, if you listen to our God.

You can hear it from the top of the highest hill, or from the valley below. It can come from the edge of the universe; it can come from within your soul. Close your eyes and listen."


Rabbi Jeffrey A. Marx, Sha' arei Or, Gates of Light, Services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur

A dear friend showed this prayer book me tonight, and I KNEW I was meant to share it with all of you.

Keep listening.

Love,
Sherry
