Quality: Dancing Shabbat!
If I could,
I would dance into and throughout Shabbat!
Moving dramatically and imperceptibly
To the inner and outer rhythms of the
preparations
rituals
foods
people
Divine Guests
Pausing now and then to note mood of the Great Presence
So I could bend, sway, bow, twirl or stir a limb
In such a way as to please
The Name of All Names
Though I am not a toe dancer,
I would find a way to climb to the tips of my feet
To meet the Presence without and within
To feel what is up and bring it down
To greet what is low and bring it up
To create the balance
In such a way as to thank
The Giver of All
For all that I have received
For all that we have received
If I could,
I would dance into and throughout Shabbat!
We have now counted five weeks of Omer.
Blessings!
