Don’t be so hard on yourself.
The holiest of mysteries
may be bafflingly simple.
What is redemption if not
rising from your bed
into the broken world
of human flesh and struggling
to imagine how to live
and what to say?
Isn’t that wrestling with angels?
Isn’t that staring down
that burning bush?
Isn’t that calling the forbidden
name of G-d out loud?
To try it every way,
knowing clearly you may
never quite get it right,
but persisting in the challenge
each and every day?
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
Redemption may be
only a morning away.
