I wrote this poem while trying to feel into the blessing of shalom, inner peace, the end of birkat kohanim from this week's parsha (Parashat Naso) -- veyasem lekha shalom. May God grant peace to each of us and to all of us.
Let Gentle Enter
Let Gentle enter
And swim through your veins
Soothing and dissolving burrs
In a soft murmuring river
That cares not
that you said the wrong thing
Or didn’t accomplish much
But just keeps flowing, unperturbed,
Over the jagged edged rocks and ledges of your soul,
Wrapping you in a slow spreading
Blanket of warmth
And the opening buds of
possibility
