From Kindness to Strength

From Kindness to Strength

The rough seas of our time
The turbulence that heaven brings
These are the storms before the calm
As the light of the I, so long in wait becomes evident
The tears of rain will come to bring the Infinite Light into being

To quiet the Heavens
To calm the seas
Now is the time to go within,
To know why you came
To remember who you are

Go where you are called,
Take the steps to
Pray, sing, laugh,
Mourn, heal, love…
To find the joy and act

From Kindness to Strength-
May they come together
In harmonious love
So we all may live
In the Beauty and Light Of Hashem

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
