Chanukah’s Striving

Todd Greenberg December 14, 2023 Chanukah Comments Off on Chanukah’s Striving

Rushing down the slope of despair-looking for answers.
Walking  up the path to where the Genie resides, will You be my guide?
Looking to the left, to the right, front side and back, nothing there.
Going deeper inside I strive to be the most vulnerable I can be.
Stop trying so hard the Soul says to me, just love yourself and be what you will be.
I took my time, asking the questions that have no answers. The Genie surprised me;
Keep climbing the path with Joy and Laughter, let that take you to the Sublime.
That is where the Light resides. Happy Chanukah!

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
