In the magnificence of mountains
Hewed from sky
Calved by glaciers
Raised by heaving earth
Aged by wind
Shorn by storms,
Awe is
Born.

Recreate 101
Photo: Amitai Asif
Recreate not what shouldn’t have happened
Yet had
But what should have taken place
And hadn’t
Or not quite as planned,
The seeds of which
Hold promise
To what may truly be
Worth recreating
When time
Once more
Comes around.

Flavorful Blessing

May the taste of life’s adventures
Be as varied
And as flavorful
As its promises,
And may sweet embellishments
Prove to be
A lot more than
Simply icing.

Thorny Matters
Photo: Amitai Asif
Sometimes spikes
May well mean
You best keep your
Distance.
However,
If you take the time
To understand
That prickly often means
Protective,
You may find
Some thorny people
Can with kind acceptance
And a bit of patience
Come to share
Sweet fruit.

Sweet Nothings
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
In the constant feed of drama
And five-minute-news of all-that’s-wrong
And all that must be done
And all that cannot yet
Or won’t be,
Seek a spot of shade
And a penchant for deep breathing.
Nurture moments of quietude
Of birdsong
Children’s laughter
And the breeze whispering
Sweet nothings to your soul.

Differentiate Defiance
Photo: Atara Katz
Differentiate the urge
To disobey
For pure defiance’s sake,
From the value of resisting
Those who violate
Or lower what’s at stake.
Refuse the rush
Of righteousness
That rebellions can wake,
And replace it with the strength
Of discerning hate from kindness,
Truth from fake.

Sorrow and Hope
Photo: Amitai Asif
Like pebbles on the beach
Like grains of sand
Like leaves upon the trees
Like flowers in a meadow
May we never be alone
In sorrow
And in hope.
May we find solace
In each other
And may compassion
Weave heart strands together
So we remember
How alike we are
Each one its own true flower
Each one part of the whole
In sorrow
And in hope.

A Tribute in Light
Tribute in Light — Photo: DOD
On the eve of 9/11
In this city that has been forever changed
As it had its core humanity
Revealed
In uncountable acts of kindness
Under devastation,
I revisit
The day
The sky grew dark
With smoke
And hearts broke open
With compassion.
For more information on tomorrow night’s Tribute in Light
For the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Wacky Loo
LEGOLAND, Deutschland; Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
It may not be the best planning
(Though extra points for depiction geared
For universal understanding …)
To include such giggle-making signing
Right where many are aligning
With legs already crossed in short queue pining …

Overcome
Photo: Amitai Asif
As change and challenge come
And you are stretched
Beyond what seems possible
To overcome,
Recall
How transformation
Can become
Its own journey
To an unexpected
Outcome.
