Stumbles and Falls
Stumbling over words of Torah
ingesting and digesting
meaning and message for self
assimilation is repeated process
integrating whole in its parts…
falling into the pit of oblivion
ayin…all that is, and is not…
identity lost, taken, dissolved
in sea of meaningfulness
beyond language’s scope…
wordless now we arise,
Torah’s alphabet, story transformed…
pit of nothingness
wordless Torah
creates that which had not existed
words gone…
essence in silence divine remains
everything-ness
our identity with You…
our mission teshuva,
stumbling and falling over story
on this earth’s plane
into Love
