Excerpt: While we focus on the Temple's destruction and all that is related to the ninth of Av I believe that our internal work reflects how we see and perceive the external. . . .

|
within the broken walls of the temple lives
the history of the destructions honor, remember, mourn |
|
|
we will most likely not
build that third temple for the re-building now is from within |
|
|
deconstruct your temples,
the ones that don’t work honor, remember, mourn |
|
|
reconstructing the self
build the internal tabernacle that cannot be taken away |
|
|
help others to build their own
temples, there own relationship with the Infinite |
|
|
listen to your Torah
resurrection and new beginnings will come |
