PARASHAT VAYETZEI
Genesis 28:10 - 32:3

As we prepare for Thanksgiving and Shabbat, I offer these words by Trisha Arlin.  
May we be blessed to recognize the goodness that surrounds us even in these troubled times.

Beloved Of The Soul (Yedid Nefesh)
Compassionate Oneness,

Imagine us all,
Everyone,
Sweet as honey,
Kind and loving.

Radiant with life,
Pure at the start. 
Then we forget and yearn
For pleasant safety.

But truth is always best: 
Art and argument, obligation and doubt, 
Kindness and cruelty, grief and ecstasy.
We could be splendid.

Show us Your love!
Keep us sane
And help us to remember
Our beautiful souls. 

Amen
