Blessing for Rosh Ḥodesh Tishrei
|
While the world is pregnant with possibility
may we each prepare, ingest, and share
our own particular blend of prenatal vitamins
May there be enough midwives
that we each get a turn to sleep
May all of the slices of apples
create a banner of love
over our cities and farms
May all of the honey
spill over into our schools
and drip down into our language
May our good strong roots grow ever deeper
aided by the company of last year’s compost
