THIS SHABBAT, WHAT WE WILL DO
This Shabbat we will rest from our fears
And exercise our endurance.
This Shabbat we will use my brains
And ignore the lure of cults and false gods.
This Shabbat we will laugh at the schmucks in power….

TO THIS I PLEDGE
My favorite thing about being a Girl Scout
was when i wore my green uniform to school
on days we had meetings.
All classes said the pledge of allegiance
every morning,
placing our hands over our hearts
as we honored the flag….

WE SEE YOU
For those who were just trying to make a buck
For those who enjoy inflicting pain
For those who know better but do worse,
We see you.
You kill, you hate, you bully, you kidnap,
You walk free for now
But we saw you.
We pray for justice.
See you in court
Someday.
Amen

We’ve seen what happens when a reckless American President tries to run a foreign country on behalf of rich oil executives.
Trump’s corrupt & illegal actions jeopardize the lives of Americans, the stability of the region, and the rule of law.

PRAYER FOR WHEN IT’S ALL TOO MUCH
Well the news is horrible.
It’s too much pain, too much hate.
No wonder we’re angry,
No wonder we’re bewildered.
Cruel idiots are ruining the world
And it’s exhausting
And weird
And we can’t stand it.
It’s too much………

PRAYER TO THOSE LIGHTING CANDLES
Happy Hanukkah!
Blessed be the Maccabees who keep watch!
The ones who blow whistles,
The ones who swarm the bullies and
Stand in front of their cars,
The ones who video the atrocities
And the ones who know right from wrong…

THIS IS THE RITUAL, Hanukkah version
This is the Ritual: Lighting the candles on Hanukkah
I loved Hanukkah when I was young:
Eight days of presents, what’s not to like?
But then I grew up.
I lived alone.
Who was I lighting the candles for, not me…

IN PRAISE OF THE DARK
Light candles, as one does, but consider this:
Over many millions of years
Organisms evolved
To thrive in the dark,
Eyes big and reflective,
Taking in the main chance.
Mysterious only to those who slept
While they flourished…
