Poem for Redemption

[additional-authors]

Beit T'shuvah

January 21, 2013

By Yeshaia Blakeney

Is the root of worship fear? A primitive response to mystery?
Is gratitude an evolved creative response to contingency/meaninglessness?
Would anything suffice other than ultimate mystery when reaching for the ultimate?
Love the closest worldly expression to that which is more than worldly,
Connection dances around truth to loose to be worthy,
Oneness was the revelation,
One is Hashem
