Stream of Prayers

There have been many times over the past month, I have had to escape the bureaucratic confines of life. One place that I seek is a nearby stream. I stood on a small footbridge, looked down, and watched the water gurgle under me and out beyond where my eye could see. And there in that pause, I experienced the accumulation of many tears transformed into all that is life-giving.

Just to be is a blessing.

Just to live is holy.

~Rabbi Abraham Heschel
