HaMakom - the space, the place;
the Space, the Place,
G!d.
We leave a city, a home, a job -
something must fill the space,
the place,
G!d.
What moves in?
Another city?
Another home?
Another job?
What fills the space?
What fills the place?
What fills...G!d???
Or is it G!d
that fills us?
Do we let G!d
fill the space?
Or do we fill it
with something
else?
We leave bondage.
What takes its place?
What fills its space?
What fills...G!d???
Freedom.
What is it?
In what kind of freedom
do we alight
and settle?
What does it take
for us to enter
a freedom
that leads us
to revelation?
What does it take?
Today is Day 43, which is six weeks and one day of the Omer.
Today is Day 43, which is six weeks and one day of the journey from bondage to revelation.
