God who brings evenings,
\nYou are the Master of transitions
\nthe Artist of\u00a0Ma\u2019avarim<\/em>,
\nand we, Your people, we are called\u00a0Ivrim<\/em>,
\nthose who pass from one place to the next,
\nwho travel to the edge
\nwho seek You in the in-between,
\nWe and You, forever becoming,
\nrolling dusk into twilight
\nand darkness into dawn.<\/p>\n

As you preside over time
\nthe sun rises up and bows low,
\nthe moon stretches out and curls in,
\nour bodies wax and wane.<\/p>\n

Everything is on the move.
\nParticles flip and twirl.
\nLight floods in and fades away.
\nYou offer us sparks of holy
\ntime, soul and space.<\/p>\n

When\u00a0Shabbat<\/cite><\/a>\u00a0comes in stillness,
\nwe breathe.
\nWe are whole.
\nWe are here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
