I wish I was less tired, because this poem is beautiful and interesting and I feel I'm not taking it in.

Your comment is also beautiful and interesting though and makes me ponder things, in a good way. So thank you!

as one jewish girl to another, thank you for posting this one

[exceptindreams]

You're welcome. It's from a beautiful collection by Marge Piercy called The Art of Blessing the Day. Every poem in the book is about being Jewish and not in a tiresome way, but rather a beautiful, this-is-my-life way. It's absolutely wonderful. Some of the poems are liturgical and are actually in various siddurim.

I love reading your own musings as much as I love reading the poems you post. Lovely. Thank you.
