Thought for the day, Saturday 26th August

“Sing to Life a new song!
Sing of Life, all Creation!
Sing of compassion and
temper your deeds with kindness.
Sing to all the world and
tell of the miracles that sustain us daily.
Yet Wonder is greater than praise,
no words can capture its Essence.
All words are idols, all ideas snares –
Truth is beyond opinion,
Reality lies beyond thought’s last horizon.
Splendour and majesty leave us speechless.
Strength and beauty are touched not talked.
Let your worship be acts of beauty and holiness;
Let all the world stand together in awe.
Declare among the nations “All is God!
Maintain the world with justice!”
The heavens rejoice and the earth is glad;
the seas roar their praise.
The fields exult; the forests sing.
For all the world is rooted in righteousness.”

Rabbi Rami Shapiro
