Terumah

Beloved, You asked of me to build a mishkan,

dwelling place, holy space, 

in which we would abide. 

This home intent to offer refuge 

comparable to heaven, 

needs maker to commence construction, 

all regardless of  the ignorance in workman’s skill;

laborer receives divine direction, to

following Your pattern carved to

forge this tribute to Your love.

Uncertainty pervades two human hands awaiting clarity

for Your next procedure, with supervision from Above…

Beloved, You have overseen and drawn Your blueprint for this work…

Your desires, heaven’s beauty, replicated 

in Your colored lights on earthly plane

precisely per request; Your design is forged.

These hands incised with Your intention 

for Your mishkan

can do nothing but create 

a holy home where earth meets heaven,

timeless space where cherub’s wings caress

and eyes of Love cast toward each other

light paths as bridges in illumination clearly

spanning time and space 

on way to join in You…

…now seeing  only You in all …r
