My body is a sukkah
A fragile home
It trembles and sways
unreliably
But the beating heart endures.
Ufros aleinu sukat shelomecha
Shelter us with your peace
In these frail bodies
Shelter us with love
That anchors us to earth
Shelter us with knowledge
And wisdom
Shelter us
Amen.
I am not going to be able to put up a sukkah this year, since I spent much of this past week in hospital. I am home now, recovering and thinking about the fragility of life.
Thank you for the beautiful thoughts!!!!!
