Within The Sheltering Presence

Within the sheltering Presence of the Lord
May you lead with grace and dignity
May you encourage study and faith and acts of loving kindness
May you inspire hope for the future and promote tolerance for others
May you explore paths of peace
May those who come to you in need, leave uplifted, with rekindled sparks of joy in their hearts.

For a Male Rabbi
Within the abundant worlds of who you are,
There are so many places to travel,
and so many versions of what is seen.
You are the mouse lost in the minute particulars of a seedling, you are the eagle as it soars comfortable with the vastness
of the earth beneath its wings,
You are the man in the middle plane---
You are the rabbi holding the torn fabric of life--not to mend it, not to conceal it, but to grieve the truth and to celebrate-crawling
and soaring and standing in the stillness of the in-between
We thank you for inviting us beside you.
Alone we might not have the ingenuity, audacity, humility or courage;
But with you it is a peasant's dancem,learned from the mouse -and the eagle,
We all can try.
