Hidden Lives

  From deep within a heart of stone, lies the essence of a kernel, soon to bloom. Behind these stony faces, tears run dry, emotions hidden inside the outer shell, where hope mixes with fear, and a suppressed cry. The seedling will soon sprout, when watered by tears of joy; then, this plant will blossom in the sunshine, of a new day, when faith reigns, in the hearts of once lifeless ruins. The stones from where the seedlings thrived, will break away to reveal what was hidden inside – people stepping out from beneath the earth, to greet the sunrise with all that they are worth. No more concealed in the basements below; now, blessed to watch the sun’s glow.

The Light of Truth

 בה When light is diminished in this world, we seek the scroll of Esther unfurled, to bring to light what remains hidden, drawing close to G-d, even when not bidden. When darkness seems to prevail, we find hope in Mordechai’s tale, of triumph, in the battle of us and them, the tides were turned in our favor by H’Shem. The light of truth shone bright, when Haman’s plan was revealed in full site, to King Ahasuerus at Esther’s feast, when all the coincidences came into place. Today, we celebrate yesterday’s victory, steadfast in prayer in the morning early, awaiting the light that appears at dawn, when the L-RD will right all that is wrong. Like colors in a mystical kaleidoscope, blue and yellow blend with hope, when all of the colors melt into one, in expectation of the rising sun.
