Elana! How you speak for us!
Your weaving of the embodied fullness of life.
Your unwavering acceptance of life as it is, and the recognition of right and wrong as phantoms, rather than truths.
xoxo!!
Your words illuminate as they weave through every aspect of this embodied life.
Through structure…and it is all structure…through thought, feeling, knowing, and love, you acknowledge form itself as beauty and sorrow.
Then you keep diving! You take us with you as you penetrate all the way to knowing, and only glimpsing the peeking through of the divine.
I am called to witness the fullness of life within these words.
I am called not to flinch from pain and loss,
but to see them clearly, as they are, as full and rich offerings, gifts, of this life lived in form.
So nourishing, Elana. Thank you for this refuge.
Your bravery is profoundly comforting and inspiring as you IMPLORE US! not to flinch from the beauty and the sorrow with which we live.
Elana, THANK YOU for bringing your poetry and midrash to the world! We are so blessed and lucky to have you and to experience your writing at the Romemu morning minyan and the wider Romemu community, and now the wider world gets to experience it here. And I feel happy knowing that I can access your wisdom in an ongoing way. With love! Jen
