Elul 1: Ayekah?
All year we have been shouting
Ayekah? Where are You?
Without realizing that you are always everywhere
Waiting for us
It is you who are awaiting an answer
Where are we?
Where am I?
I am searching
I long
To be with you
In Your House
Where You are
B’veit Adonai
But how to get there?
How to be in Union with You?
Ah, I see, I must first find myself.
Ayekah
I was standing in Bavel, or rather m’vubal
I was confused
I thought I could see but I forgot to check my perspective
first
And so I was looking for You
Instead of finding my own way
Back
I have been low
Abed
I have been paralysed and I have let myself
Be
But I see now
I need to move
I need to turn and return
And start again
Even if it’s one step at a time
Even if the road is long and I am already
Tired
I need to follow the whisper on the wind
The Still Small Voice
Ayekah?
I am here.
Help me begin to move toward you.
Again.
