This Moment

a kinetic Kaddish

Burying W today. One hundred years old. We celebrate his life. He was one of the generation that saved the country, for the future. The future is now and we are in a pickle. We can do better.

This Moment
A Kinetic Kaddish

Palm to palm
In the gesture of prayer

Prayer and 
Humility

Now hands open up
(by the Zohar)

Mystery tension
What Is against what might be

Now turn your hands toward each other
Hold the world between your hands

To the elders 
Heavy the world 

Hold it there a moment
Now find quiet and before quiet

Mercy
Mercy

Sitting here within my quiet
Muscle of resistance gone from my hands

Music gone from my mouth sound from my ears
Only when there is no memory of loss

Will loss be quieted
Say -- Amen
