A Way In

Kavanah for Week of February 19 by Rabbi Yael Levy

Parasha Terumah:

The Mystery calls: Make for me a holy place and I will dwell among you,

I will dwell within you. (Exodus 25:8)

I live within the human heart. I am there in every crevice of creation.

Stop and notice me.

Fashion sacred time and sacred space

By giving of your unique talents and gifts

With generosity and love.

Make my holy dwelling through the cultivation of a wise and discerning heart

And by creating beauty.

Create beauty with your words, your intentions, your hands, your experiences.

Create beauty for yourself, for each other, for the generations you will never know.

Live your life as if it were a work of art

And find rest in the pauses of creation.
