Because The Moon is Covered, part 1
Through what then will it shine?
Through teshuvah and the sound of the shofar.
–Zohar
1.
Tekiah – Original unity
Before exiles —
Personal
Spiritual
Tribal
Tekiah the universal —
Teruah – the relative
Wavering, crying
A longing to return
Broken
We are breaking up
The Great Tekiah —
The promise of return
Sad and beautiful world
Sad – so far away
Beautiful – so hungry
We are to
Return
Because The Moon is Covered, part 2
Through what then will it shine?
Through teshuvah and the sound of the shofar.
–Zohar
2.
I will turn away from here
and approach There*
Turning —
process not performance
journey not destination
Not sin-based
change-based
Not goal-taking
movement
Unstuck
*Rashi on Exodus 3:3
