Perplexed
How do you seek what you cannot see?
How do you walk down paths you have never trod before?
How do you embrace truths foreign to your culture?
How do you show compassion when you feel the need of it yourself?
How do you sing when you hear the echoes of others’ judgments?
How do you fully forgive those who sin against you?
How do you rejoice in the midst of sorrow?
How do you walk with humility without being humiliated?
How do you delight in both sunshine and tempest?
How do you laugh so hard each day
That your sides ache and tears run down your face?
How do you appreciate what G-d has given without being arrogant?
How do you develop the discipline to
See you through until you draw that last breath?
How do you embrace the calling of the Lord G-d,
Each and every day of your life?
How do you follow in the steps of the Holy One, trusting as a young child?
How do you develop skills unknown to your family?
How do you cook with such creativity that their mouths water?
How do you eat only food that is good for your body?
How do you become disciplined in the arts of G-d?
How do you write to both edify and uphold truth?
How do you learn to write when you don’t even know where to start?
How do you publish what others have written
With the same loving diligence as you publish your own work?
How do you write to glorify and honour G-d each and every day?
How indeed?!
