~ An Old Hasidic Poem ~
 
*
 
Take special care to guard your tongue
Before the morning prayer,
Even greeting your fellow we are told
Can be harmful at that hour.

*

A person who wakes up in the morning
Is like a new creation.

*

Begin your day with unkind words…
Even though you may later turn to prayer,
You have not been true to your creation.


*

All of your words each day
Are related one to another…
All of them are rooted 

In the first words that you speak.

SABBATH:
~ finding a time of rest, renewal & delight in our busy lives ~

When we live without listening to the timing of things, when we live and work in twenty-four-hour shifts without rest – we
are on war time, mobilized for battle. Yes, we are strong
and capable people, we can work without stopping, faster
and faster, electric lights making artificial day so the
whole machine can labour without ceasing.

But remember: No living thing lives like this. There are greater rhythms, seasons and hormonal cycles and sunsets and moonrises and great movements of seas and stars.

We are part of the creation story,
subject to all its laws and rhythms.”

~ Wayne Muller ~

~ Day by Day ~

~ Psalms For Seven Days ~


In the * postexilic liturgy of the Temple ~ Psalm 92 ~ came to
be sung at the time of the morning sacrifice on the Sabbath.

~ A Song for a Sabbath ~

It is good to praise the Lord and make music to the name
of the Most High, proclaiming God's love in the morning
and giving witness to God's faithfulness at night.

~ Psalm 92 ~
