Shavuot Thought


And in the words of Ruth with commentary by me:

Wither thou goest, I will go                            
 I will wander in the deserts of your life with you, 
 You will not be alone
Where you lodge, I will lodge
           I will make a home with you-
           Together we will create a haven from life’s storms.
Your people will be my people,
           I will be part of your community and care for you and them, 
           I will rejoice with you and mourn with you.
Your God will be my God
            I will believe with you and have faith with you
Where you die, I will die and there I shall be buried.
            This is for keeps, 
            I'm your forever and ever companion.

May each of our journeys be blessed with community and with Torah.
