Blessing for Adar (1, 2, and if necessary, 3) |
(for a leap year or as needed)and you might feel powerless
even if you are the queen and you might not know what to do
where to turn but maybe
maybe with Vashti’s blessing in your pocket
you can step a way forward when in doubt
throw a banquet
even a small one when in doubt
boo at someone hateful when in doubt
bake cookies in funny shapes
and give them away fast or slow or
just keep going
or stop
or
hang out at the gates of the palace
in case you are needed (for moral support) when in danger
in a fictional place
with no name of God in sight put Esther’s blessing
in your pocket maybe the story
somehow
is already written
and
maybe
it is not a tragedy perhaps you and God together
will unmask yourselves |
