 Another beautiful prayer for Shabbos.
We reach for You, our Gd
from our quiet places.
May we stand still,
for a brief moment, and
listen to the rain -
Stand still, for a brief
moment, and watch the
play of sunlight and
shadow on the leaves.
For a brief moment -
listen to the world.
Let us stop the wheels
of every day to be aware of
Shabbat. Find the stillness
of the sanctuary
which the soul cherishes.
Renew the Covenant
of an ancient people.
We need a quiet
space to test the balance
of our days. The weight
of our own needs
against the heaviness
of the world's demands.
The balance is
precarious - steady
us with faith.
Quiet places and
stillness - where we will
hear our own best
impulses speak.
Quiet places and
stillness - from which
we will reach out to
each other.
We will find
strength in silence
and with this
strength we will
turn again to your
service.No one has commented on this article. |
