Three Meditations for the Heart

Three Meditations for the Heart

I. the heart speaks

come to me.

there is always
duality.

everything is, as is
nothing else
to be done.

eyes closed,
the blessing of love comes.


II. A Universal Smile

a universal smile
comes across my chest.

I am home now.
thank you
for being my friend.


III. Overwhelmed

overwhelmed
by the beauty of all existence,

humbled
by the still, small voice,

awakening
to the wonder of Creation,

bowing
to the smile that envelopes me—

I am home now.

thank you
for being by my side.

“May the heart continue to speak.
May we always find our way home.”

About Todd Greenberg

Through prayer, worship, Torah Study, and Kabbalah I have been inspired to write poetry that tends more to the spiritual and mystical aspects found in Judaism. What comes "through" me I try to put into words. I hope that at least some of what I post to BJN will resonate with you and that you find inspiration from it for your own journey. Thank you for allowing to share my writings. Blessings, Todd
